text: Conservative Catholics, especially here in America, have conjured up a "cult of personality" around JPII.He was a very busy Pope what with writing encyclical after encyclical,appointing bishops based upon a litmus test of adherence to Humanae Vitae, commissioning a Catechism of the Catholic Church which was a surprise to many since nobody even knew we needed one, and various other projects. All these activities had a purpose: To lock down discussion on controversial issues, both during his papacy, and, more importantly, after his death. These kind of schemes never work, and the whole structure that Woytola put in place is disintegrating under Francis. This is why the Catholic Right is so alarmed and is why they loathe and detest Bergoglio.
