Here is what JPII has said: "this man is the primary route that the Church must travel in fulfilling her mission: he is the primary and fundamental way for the Church, the way traced out by Christ himself."
Think about it. He's not saying Jesus became man and ennobled us thereby. He is saying Man himself is the primary path that the Church has to travel. Does he say this path is Christ? No. He's saying this path is the path Christ traced out--and somehow everybody's on it, the whole human race. He makes no distinctions among those who walk this path, none whatsoever between nature and grace. And he's saying the Church has to follow this path PRIMARILY--apparently even before it follows divine revelation. And whereas Jesus invited all to follow him, indicating that some would be saved and some would not, the Pope takes a lyric leap from the fact that the Word became flesh to the fact that we are all automatically somehow Christified, regardless of faith, by virtue of the Incarnation. So it's no wonder he presides over prayer festivals of all religions. By his way of thinking we're all somehow members of one big ecumenical religion where the Archbishop of Canterbury rubs shoulders with the pope and the pope prays with animists in the Togo Forest and Hindu priests pray to their gods at Fatima.
This is not Catholicism, it's heresy.
From Redemptor Hominis:
“We are dealing with "each" man, for each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and with each one Christ has united himself for ever through this mystery. Every man comes into the world through being conceived in his mother's womb and being born of his mother, and precisely on account of the mystery of the Redemption is entrusted to the solicitude of the Church.”
He is saying Man himself is the primary path that the Church has to travel. Does he say this path is Christ? No.
“Jesus Christ is the chief way for the Church. He himself is our way ‘to the Father's house’ and is the way to each man.
