FROM ROD DREHER
the best, most balanced, assessment of the life and contributions of Pope John Paul II that I have seen yet. Naturally I agree with him. I remember the mess JPII inherited. It is probably wishful thinking that it could all have been cleaned up by one man. He did much to remedy the situation. What orthodoxy we find in the Church today we must thank him for, but as Rod points out, the fact remains that his governance left room for the next pope to shine.
God grant us an orthodox pope. Holy Spirit bring to us an orthodox pope who will govern. Jesus guide the thinking of the cardinals that they might choose wisely. Our Lady of Fatima intercede for us.
Thanks to a reader for pointing out the commentary.
