I have mixed feelings about John Paul II's tenure. He certainly was a
major factor in the liberation of Eastern Europe, I agree with the
church's stance on the death penalty and I applauded him for opposing the
current debacle in Iraq. On the other hand I found his medieval (just an
expression Damon 8^) ) approach to womenâs issues and especially birth
control to be repugnant.
I don't imagine I'd give a damn about what the Catholic Church and their
pope did except for the inordinate influence they have over so much of the
developing world.
I hope they pick some one more open minded and progressive to succeed him.
