Other PMOF winners Looking at the recipients, it seems the MOF recipients reflect more on the person doing the giving than the person doing the receiving.

The Pope deserves accolades for his efforts against communism. He is a heroic figure in that regard. IMHO, he is not as forceful as he should be with islam. Perhaps, and I hope, the cardinals will select a vigorous opponent of islam as the next pontiff.
