Thread Name: BS: John Paul II's Legacy
Subject: RE: BS: John Paul II's Legacy
Yes, John Paul II was quite masterful at consistently ignoring the Rwandan genocide, and the Roman Catholic church's complicity in it, wasn't he?

And child sexual abuse--he consistently ignored that too.

And the AIDS epidemic. Now there was one consistently ignored topic under JPII. Except when the hierarchy chose to consistently put out bogus "medical" information about how the use of condoms contributed to the spread of AIDs...

Yup, the former pope was nothing if not consistently wrong in ways that resulted in millions of deaths on his watch.

That's quite a legacy.
