I do not know what you mean by 'offical' site, I am sure there are any number of sites dealing with the issue. However, one does not need a website for this information. JP II (& CR at that time with the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith) sanctioned some priests (even publicly) mostly in Central/Latin American. This is well known as their opposition to abortion/euthanasia. > For now I'd really be grateful if George gives us a bit more detail...and > his own views > on the matter.

Was JP II's involvement in Poland's & Eastern Europe's liberation a beneficial one? Where does the church draw the line? This is the central question and the most puzzling. On the one hand, oppression must end, on the other hand a close nexus between church and state (politics) is not productive. How does one balance liberating Eastern Europe with asking priests not to be involved in liberation movements in Latin America? Regards, George
