text: John Paul II was a jerk.  Plain and simple.  He had no interest in trying to follow the example Jesus gave as we read the gospels. And he tried to set the Church back 100 years.  He was only accurate setting it back 25 years.   I guess the "Vatican boys" finally got to Pope Francis.  Such a legacy John Paul left--mostly all negative.  I can speak with a priest for five minutes and tell whether he is a "John Paul" priest.  Hopefully, Francis is leaving a legacy to be proud of.  Perhaps, ordained women Deacons.
