John Paul II, if not an outright syncretist or indifferentist, certainly gave the impression of being one. He was always vague and his writing his gibberish.
John Paul II issued a new Code of Canon Law PERMITTING giving the Blessed Sacrament to non-Catholics. Pre-Vatican II Catholics actually would prepare themselves spiritually with fasting and prayer, it's probably that non-Catholics think the eucharist is just symbolic and something that Catholics do so they naturally wouldn't give it much thought. So, that's bad.
No matter where John Paul II travelled, there was an entourage of media (so he really was a "newspaper good guy") but never was their a growth in Catholicism in his wake.
John Paul II did nothing about the sex abuse scandals.
John Paull II made Card. Mahoney of LA and Card. Martini "cardinals".
John Paul II seemed to be a kind man, and that's accountable for something. However, the devil is kind and helpful, until a soul is ensnared so that's no good.
Just about everything related to Archbishop LeFebrvre says "Catholic failthful to the Holy Church". He's truly a "santo subito".
