Marcel was not much of a Catholic either as noted by his excommunication.

Even is the excommunication were valid (which it is not) you would be guilty of a non-sequitur when considering Origen

Let's put JPII to the Catholic Test shall we? It'll be a shameful history lesson in the Church that an archbishop had to do the work to hold the Church together while the Pontiff tried to tear it apart.

JP II is pope. Test passed. The Holy Ghost provides no heretics as pope.

Marcel and his episcopal rebels were excommunicated. They fail the Catholic test. Case closed unless and until JP II says otherwise. He is pope. You are not and neither was the nefarious Marcel.

The overarching pride implicit in this statement is revealing.

You think it's part of your job description to measure, grade and judge popes?

You have a) way too much time on your hands, b)an insufficient appreciation of your own need for God's mercy and c) a presumptuousness as to the charism which your position within the Mystical Body confers.

There is a word which nicely sums up your self-appointed status as keeper of the Catholic faith.

Impudence.
