Well, I AM Catholic and this Pope failed us,
big time. Yes, he was quite popular with folks
who didn't want to think and on the world scene.

However, he failed the children and other
vulnerable people in the recent abuse scandal
which has rocked the Church. He refused to meet
with abuse victims, ever. He topped it off by
giving Cardinal Bernard Law a cushy spot in
Rome, safe from the US Legal system.

When AIDS was ravaging Africa, he still insisted
that couples EVEN WHERE ONE PARTNER IN A
MARRIED COUPLE WAS KNOWN TO BE HIV-POSITIVE
should not use condoms.

In addition, he surpressed scholarship and
exploration of theological ideas to an extent
heretofore unknown in the past century.

This Pope reminded me of the big man-about-town
whom puts on a great public display, and then
goes home and treats his own wife and kids like
dirt.

He had great compassion for Iraq. Too bad he
didn't have nearly so much for Catholics.
