Angelo Sodano is not Cardinal Raymond Burke.  He is something quite altogether different.  I would say the difference is like that between the Head Sparrow and Peter Littlefinger in Game of Thrones.  One is a religious ideologue out to save Westeros from it's vices and sins,  and the other is out to own Westeros while maybe taking the Iron Throne in the process. I would think any Catholic who cared about the Church would look at Sodano's over all actions, and those of the Cardinals and Vatican officials in his circle.  Don't overlook the fact JPII was physically more or less out of commission his last years as Pope.  Who do you suppose really ran the show?  It wasn't Cardinal Ratzinger.
