A different view, has one valid point (Cardinal Law) but overall I don't agree with it. I think John Paul did a great job overall.

Terry Eagleton is a brilliant literary critic but a Marxist.

I didn't think it was a long night with Ronnie and Margo in office, actually I thought it was quite short.

" the western world made a decisive shift to the right"

Road apples.

It was the grotesque irony by which the Vatican condemned - as a "culture of death" - condoms, which might have saved countless Catholics in the developing world from an agonising Aids death. The Pope goes to his eternal reward with those deaths on his hands.

Maybe they should have listened to the Pope and tried abstinence. Another liberal/marxist blame-anybody-but-the-perpetrator comment.

The honeymoon lasted about 2 days until the leftists came out with their knives to start carving him up.

1000 years hence, more than a billion people will be asking that John Paul II pray for them. His life story will be the subject of many sermons each year on his feast day and his theology will be a source for many scholarly inquiries and discussions.

1000 years hence, Terry Eagleton will have been erased from human memory.

The left's Pope-bashing begins in earnest.

If he's a Marxist, then how can he be considered "brilliant"?

His 'Intro to Literary Criticism' is indispensible to students of the subject.

Terry Eagleton is a talentless hack literary critic and also a Marxist.

His only contribution to the field is a shallow survey of other people's ideas.

The only part I can even remotely accept is the part about condoms. Not for AIDS, since that is preventable without condoms, but for married women in developing countries whose lives are at risk from quick succession pregnancies and poor medical care during birth.

In a just society, Terry Eagleton would be writing her column in a dungeon somewhere with Tomas de Torquemada there to check her grammar and punctuation.

"...just as the emancipatory 60s were declining into the long political night of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. "

That's all I had to read to know that they're whiney embittered comunists upset that they aren't in control.
