Just to weigh in...
Apr. 3rd, 2005 11:37 amWhile I don't agree with many of the positions he took, I think the pope took great steps to address many of the concerns that the world at large had with the Catholic church. He also took many steps to end institutional Antisemitism, and helped hide Jews during WWII. For the system he was working in, he did a lot of good.
I hope his successor is up to the task.
