Perhaps I will study further on that subject, it's one of about 10,000 subjects that interest me.
In the mean time, I suggest that "arrogance" is no more appropriate of a word to describe the pope, especially JPII, than it is to describe the president of the United States.

I would venture that the poster was not, necessarily, suggesting that JPII is arrogant, ... he is, most likely, simply following the established precedent of Papal supremacy.
The charge of 'arrogance' is, likely, directed at Pope Leo IX, as the poster states in his post #955 to polemikos.
P.S. Would you hold that the term 'arrogant' was an inappropriate term to describe Clinton at anytime during his 8 years in office ?
