let me tell you, John Paul II actually APOLOGIZED for all of the bad that catholicts have done in the Dark Ages etc.

[quote:3am00tcd]Masturbation -- the bible says nothing.
and have you ever READ the bible? The Onan story, to be exact?? I think not.
As for the Pope not caring for the pedophile priests, he in fact dismissed more priests than you can imagine.

Anyway,I'm not going to argue with you lot, just wanted to point out some of the statments that were not exactly true.

I myself am a Polish catholic, and you have no idea just how much the Pope meant for all of us. He was not only a religious leader, but also a great person - and that one you cannot deny.[/quote:3am00tcd]

I can deny that.
