"I have more respect for the Dalai Lama than I have had for any pope since John XXIII" Quote, Joe O.

....and still true today.

But to Benedict/Ratzinger's credit, I have to say that it appears it was Ratzinger who initiated investigation of the infamous Fr. Maciel, despite the fact that Maciel was one of John Paul II's favorites. Maciel was a molester, a morphine addict, a philanderer and father of several illegitimate children, and founder of an ultraconservative religious order.
