In all seriousness though, he is better than John XXIII and Paul VI, except for his ambiguous indifferentist tendencies.
No doubt, he is a personally holier man than any of us here. And he does have more political acumen than did his namesake predecessors. But while he has presided over the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe, he has also presided over the collapse of the Church in the West. He has had so long to undo the work of his predecessors, taken a few small steps in that direction, and yet the self-destruction of the Church has continued.
I fear that his papacy has only slowed down the destruction of the Church. His successors (starting with Cardinal Kasper) will preside over the worst stages of the great apostasy.
There is nothing left for Catholics in the West, nothing but to cling to the foot of the Cross, nothing but misery and ruin in the foreseeable future, nothing but to wait for His return.
Kaspar may outlive JP II but you can take it to the bank that he will not succeed JP II as pope now or ever.
