What do you think about JPII kissing the Koran?
That was deplorable but not nearly as bad as his large-scale appointment of homosexuals to the episcopate. By the way, there is no real pedophile priest problem. Most all the abuses are against teenage boys, so the problem is with homosexuals, not pedophiles. The miracle of the Church is that it can survive popes like John Paul II.
Despite infestation of the hierarchy by homosexuals, the doctrine on morality has never changed. What protects Catholic teaching while mainline Protestant doctrine folds under similar pressure? It could only be the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Inquisition has renewed and restored the hierarchy repeatedly. It will eventually be brought back and the ranks of bishops and priests will be cleansed once again.
