"I'm sure Tantumergo would be glad to admit that it's not entirely original. Many article have been written on the fact that JPII has buried the faithful under a mountain of paper."

I had rather assumed that St.Chuck was being a little sarcastic with me so didn't respond to that point directly!

However, you are correct - it has been noted by many people that JPII has been one of the most prodigious Popes in history. There have been many good things in there as well - if only he could get his brother bishops to read it and act on it, the Church would at least be in a better condition than we currently are.

Earlier in the thread you wrote that the pope had said and written some heretical things. Sinkspur asked if you actually believed this. Your answer implied that "sheer volume" necessitates heresy. I am reminded of the play "Amadeus" in which at one point, the composer Salieri criticizes Mozart for "too many notes". Maybe that's not quite what you meant, but, if not you didn't answer Sinkspur's question.

Of course the pope is the most prodigious in history. I would expect him to be in this information age we live in. His longevity also accounts for his enormous output.
