[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 2136489, member: 9576"] There are numerous photos of JPII on his visit to New Guinea in 1983 with bare-breasted women in front of him. Even if that is acceptable behavior for their culture, it should not have been acceptable for the head of the Catholic Church to allow such dress (or lack thereof) in front of him. Yet in the world of the post-Vatican II church, anything goes. So in response to wanting to see the likes of JPII again, I say good riddance. The post-Vatican II church has been a disaster full of self-congratulatory arrogance. Vatican II began with John XXIII, followed by Paul VI. Then [B]John Paul [/B]I and [B]John Paul [/B]II (who I've heard numerous times in recent days referred to as John Paul the Great). All four popes since Vatican II (save for Benedict XV and Francis, of course) are being investigated for Sainthood. What a surprise. I am not Catholic bashing. I am a Catholic, lamenting my Church being torn apart from the inside for the past 50 years and seeing modern day Catholics with no real understanding of the history or traditions of their Church celebrating that destruction.
