How easy to sit on the sidelines and play the judge. Ignore the encyclicals, the Wednesday audience catechesis, etc. Let's also ignore any of his accomplishments John Paul II Helped Topple Berlin Wall. To heck with the millions of youth who traveled from all parts of the globe to World Youth Day, drew inspiration from this pope and have answered his call to serve God in religious life. Let's just judge him by what he failed to accomplish, "in our view".
A reason for the spread of secular humanism can be laid at the Vatican’s front gate. I haven’t sat on the sidelines I’ve read the encyclicals of both JP and our current pontiff and concluded that the same newspeak flows out of the current White House.
