And I felt the same way about the pontificates of JPII and Benedict, the difference was how they did it and in degree.  Their handling of of the abuse crisis (as many lives were damaged by that as by Castro and also taking into account the lives lost from suicides over the abuse), the lives lost from AIDS from refusing to allow condom usage in areas hard hit by the epidemic, the refusal to make African bishops deal with the sexual abuse by priests against women and especially the rape of religious sisters.  Destroying the professional lives of theologians who speculated about theories the "Holy" See disagreed with and collusion with unsavory political leaders and business leaders around the world.  Not to mention their support of laws harming women and LGBT people around the world. In fact, those two pontiffs probably did more harm than the Castro brothers.
