And you didn't have a problem with JPII's huge involvement in world affairs?
I was 21 when he died. He was the pope since before I was born. My knowledge of him as pope was limited and I was too young to have formed a reasonable opinion (few have the proper life experiences at age 21 to have any business having an opinion on such things). What I know of him now is that he helped bring down the USSR, the bastion of communism, the greatest evil of our time. I do not know of what else he might have done.
If he advocated for socialism and climate change policies, then I will need to adjust my opinion of John Paul II.
