The Pope was a reactionary who tried to turn back the clock on modern reality. His ultra-conservative theology, which prohibits female ordination and prohibits birth control and abortion. He brands the notion of over-population a myth and says the use of condoms as a precaution against AIDS only encourages the behavior that leads to the spread of the disease. Millions of people are dying in Africa for which (indirectly) he is a cause. One time to one UN Women?s organization representative, he said women?s dressing and behavior is reason of increasing rape case in the world. For Jesus? sake, what sort of logic was that? If you happy with the weak situation of socialist political system in the world at this time of history, he was the main cause of uprising in Poland which started the fall of Eastern European Communism. Other than that, I do not know how you can say this he was a great man!
