1. First Pope since Peter ...

John Paul II is probably the first Pope since Peter who really gave a shit about peace and tolerance amongst mankind. So please don't diss him.

2. He appears to diss himself by meeting with war criminals like

this personage.

4. amply demonstrated

by his unrelenting opposition to not only abortion but to contraception as well - one of the predominant factors in keeping many many women in the third world in poverty and without relief

5. Did not rush down to the Vatican vaults and fork over all the

loot from WWII either, I notice.

7. Hold On

Some people believe that life begins in the womb. For them, it literally is murder.

I don't agree with them. But I respect their point of view. If you want people to respect YOUR point of view, you should respect THEIRS!!!

John Paul is pro-charity and anti-war. He has offered olive branches to all the other faiths out there. While he still essentially believes that Catholicism is THE BEST faith, he recognizes that their are other legitimate ways.

John Paul II is gracious and compassionate. I don't agree with him on some issues, but I see where he's coming from.

6. Anyone opposed to birth control is

participating in the most insidious form of war mongering.

[WillParkinson]

9. Ah, yes, of course...

I see that 'tolerance' welcoming gays and lesbians with open arms.

Forgive me if I don't see the lesser of two evils in this picture.

3. Wow - the incarnation of Satan serving food to God's representative

Who'dathunk?

I love what Lewis Black had to say about meeting Cheney - "I've never been so close to evil."
