I want you each to remember how much pope John Paul II has done for freedom in the world. Ask a Pole if he knows how to fight oppression. Let the Pope fight for the west in his own way. He has a proven track record. Some of what he does may be difficult to understand, but he had his critics at the peak of the cold war, as well.

Who is fighting the biggest threat to western civilization today, namely our institution of marriage and the traditional family? He is. I give him my full support.

Self-correction.

Why has he condemned our efforts in Iraq? Why has he continually sided with the PLO over Israel?

I think that it is wonderful that 20 years ago the Pope helped to free us from communism.
However, this has nothing to do with the mistakes he has made as a man and my point was that I will not accept that this holy man planned to make the mistakes he did with a purpose.

He is only perfect in Dogma. When you saint him on Earth, you are going beyond your power. And being unrealistic.
