NovusOrdoWatch.com and Traditio.com have been docuмenting the V2 popes' heresies for decades.  Plenty of picture/quote evidence there.  "Tradition in Action" also has some articles on this topic.

Thank you. NorvusOrdo watch had over a dozen wonderful links regarding the guy. Makes me think that they sainted him so quickly because the love of him wouldn't last 100 years. Had to force it through before the average bear stopped caring and the not so average bears started tearing him a new one. 

Pope John Paul II made some mistakes, and both +ABL and +BF respectfully criticized those. He also did some good things, which both +ABL and +BF have appreciated. Here is some "dirt" which you may not like, but it is all about missionary works and salvation of souls, the Eucharist, catechesis etc. The Catholic Church is not by any means totally dead yet, as some of you seem to wish.

"How John Paul II Transformed Mother Teresa’s Sisters
Many are aware of Mother Teresa’s beginning her order after receiving her “call within a call.” But few are aware of this later call, given through St. John Paul II, to deepen their mission.

On the feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta this year I came across “The Spirituality of Mother Teresa,” written by Fr. John Hardon on the occasion of the first anniversary of her death. In this piece, Fr. Hardon, an American Jesuit and now a Servant of God, highlights a number of characteristics of Mother Teresa’s spirituality and also, in the same reflection, reveals a particular way in which St. John Paul II changed the Missionaries of Charity, the religious community that she founded.
In Fr. Hardon’s reflection, there are seven characteristics of Mother’s spirituality that he points out and then elaborates upon. While the piece is worth reading in its entirety, the seven characteristics themselves bear light on the beauty of Mother Teresa’s spiritual life and include such aspects as “Deep Faith in the Real Presence,” “Deep Apostolic Love for the Poor,” “Spirit of Prayer,” and “Zeal for the True Faith.” In this article, I will focus on the last of the points as named here, “Zeal for the True Faith.”

“Zeal for the True Faith” and Missionaries of Souls
In Fr. Hardon’s description of this characteristic in the life and spirituality of Mother Teresa – “Zeal for the True Faith,” one finds an aspect of the history of the Missionaries of Charity that many are unfamiliar with. This historical moment, however, bears light on how important it is not just to care for the materially poor but also the spiritually poor, a need still very present in modern life, and even in the Church, today. Fr. Hardon begins his description of how St. John Paul II changed the Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity in this way:

Quote After some thirty-five years of serving the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa was called to Rome by Pope John Paul II. He told her how deeply he appreciated what she was doing worldwide to relieve the poverty of so many people. But then he told her, “I would like to change your Constitutions. I want the Missionaries of Charity to become missionaries not only of poor bodies but also of poor souls.”

Many are aware of Mother Teresa’s beginning the Missionaries of Charity after receiving an inspiration from the Lord, often referred to as a “call within a call.” But few are aware of this later call, given through St. John Paul II, to deepen their mission.

“Train them!”

Fr. Hardon continues his description of this encounter between St. Teresa of Calcutta and St. John Paul II in these words:

Quote The Holy Father then told her to start catechizing and evangelizing. When Mother told the Pope that her Sisters were not trained for this apostolate, he told her, “train them!”

What one finds in this encounter is amazing. Here Pope John Paul II gives Mother Teresa a particular call for her already established religious community, to care for not only the materially impoverished but also the spiritually impoverished, and to provide for the Sisters that they might carry out this work, which Mother Teresa saw that they were not yet equipped to do.
One sees here how the Lord can take the poverty, even in the training of a particular religious community, and use it for his glory. Through providing for the training of the Missionaries of Charity, the work of catechesis and evangelization of the spiritually poor would later be carried out. Hardon, himself a renowned theologian, would, through his own call from the Vatican assist the Sisters in, as he calls it, “training them for their new apostolate.” Fr. Hardon also relates that this moment in the history of the Missionaries of Charity brought a great effect:

Quote Words cannot describe the impact which this had on the Missionaries of Charity. They have been phenomenally zealous and effective in teaching the true faith. Located in over one hundred countries throughout the world, I can honestly say they are now the largest missionary order in the world. But now, the word “missionary” has come to mean teaching the faith which God became man to reveal to the world.

The Missionaries of Charity, who had already been serving Christ in the poorest of the poor, now took on a “new apostolate,” without abandoning their initial work and this response to the new “call within a call” has borne great fruit."

The comments made by some on this thread to defend JPII are so pathetic it defies belief, but is typical. Everything that St. Pius X condemned in his writings against Modernism could be observed in JPII's public actions. One of the two had to be in error. I wager that it was the latter.

Just to clarify, my intent was not to defend John Paul II or prevent problematic aspects of his papacy from being discussed.  My intent was simply to point that if you start looking for dirt on someone and gossiping about it publicly, you are almost certainly going to fall into sin.

That being said, here are a few issues with JP II's papacy that are worth looking into.
During a General audience, he taught that the phrase from the Apostles Creed, "he descended into hell," means Christ was buried in the tomb.

John Paul II, General Audience January 1989: "As is evident from the texts quoted, the article of the Apostles' Creed, "he descended into hell", is based on the New Testament statements <on the descent of Christ>, after his death on the Cross, into the "region of death", into the a abode of the dead", which in Old Testament language was called the "abyss". If the Letter to the Ephesians speaks of "the lower parts of the earth", it is because the earth receives the human body after death, and so it received also the body of Christ who expired on Calvary, as described by the Evangelists (cf. Mt 27:59 f, and parallel passages; In 19:40-42). <Christ passed through> a real <experience of death>, including the final moment which is generally a part of the whole process: <he was placed in the tomb.>
 
It is a confirmation that this was a real, and not merely an apparent, death. His soul, separated from the body, was glorified in God, but his body lay in the tomb as a <corpse.>
 
During the three (incomplete) days between the moment when he "expired" (cf. Mk 15:37) and the resurrection, Jesus experienced the a state of death", that is, the <separation of body and soul>, as in the case of all people. This is the primary meaning of the words "he descended into hell"; they are linked to what Jesus himself had foretold when, in reference to the story of Jonah. he had said: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so <will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth>" (Mt 12:40)." https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/he-descended-into-hell-8679

That of course is entirely false.  Descended into hell means his soul descended into the Limbo of the Fathers, which is part of hell. Here is what the Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches:

Catechism of the Council of Trent:  

First Part of this Article: "He Descended into Hell"

In the first part of this Article, then, we profess that immediately after the death of Christ His soul descended into hell, and dwelt there as long as His body remained in the tomb; and also that the one Person of Christ was at the same time in hell and in the sepulchre. Nor should this excite surprise; for, as we have already frequently said, although His soul was separated from His body, His Divinity was never parted from either His soul or His body.
 
"Hell"

As the pastor, by explaining the meaning of the word hell in this place may throw considerable light on the exposition of this Article, it is to be observed that by the word hell is not here meant the sepulchre, as some have not less impiously than ignorantly imagined; for in the preceding Article we learned that Christ the Lord was buried, and there was no reason why the Apostles, in delivering an Article of faith, should repeat the same thing in other and more obscure terms.
 
Hell, then, here signifies those secret abodes in which are detained the souls that have not obtained the happiness of heaven. In this sense the word is frequently used in Scripture. Thus the Apostle says: At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and in hell; and in the Acts of the Apostles St. Peter says that Christ the Lord is again risen, having loosed the sorrows of hell.

I would also point to the Nestorian "Mass" that contained the Anaphora of Addai and Mari, which John Paul II said was valid, in spite of the fact that there are no words of consecration.  

Im afraid you wouldn't get much of a discussion from such a topic. I'm a simple man who has committed simple sins. I personally think it'd be much more interesting to discuss the sins of a man who was declared a saint under questionable circuмstances (in this humble sinners opinion) as I've pointed out in the original post. Tell you what though I'll start keeping a journal of all my sins and should I ever be put into a position where I am eligible for sainthood you can read that to your hearts content.

Bravo!

The problem is that when we start gossiping (and that's what it is) about other people's sins, we almost always fall into sin ourselves.  The facts are sketchy, the circuмstances are even more so, and we have no idea what was taking place in the internal forum.  Moreover, our judgment is easily influenced by our passions, which causes us to judge in excess - and the excess in this case will be toward the worse.  Publicly discussing other people's sins is a bad idea, and will certainly be regretted on judgment day.

Rubbish.
When someone is raised to the altar, they are presented as a heroic example.
That is why Wojtyla the Second Worst needed to bypass the traditional careful examination based on the "Devil's Advocate" and why his one "miracle" was a cancer patient who improved after standard chemotherapy. Big whoop.

At times, obedience to you leads to eternal damnation.”


…Could the Hindu desecration of Fatima be a just punishment for Your
Holiness receiving the mark of Shiva, a sign of worship of a HIndu
false god?

There was a time when Catholic martyrs suffered myriad horrible
deaths rather than offer even a pinch of incense to false gods.
What has happened to the Church, Churchmen, and Faithful
that Your Holiness regularly honors false religions?

Having been condemned September 27, 235 A.D in metallum
(to the mines) for his Catholic Faith, Pope St. Pontian was force-marched from the
port, Othoca, to the Sardinian lead mines. His left eye was gouged out with a dagger
and the socket cauterized with molten iron. The joints of his left foot were burned
to cause painful scarification thereby impairing walking. A nerve… was severed by
stabbing behind his right knee to cause a “foot drop,” further
impairing walking. He was branded on the forehead. Iron rings were soldered around
his ankles then, manacled, his ankles were tethered by a heavy chain to a painfully
constricting iron ring around his waist so short that he could only stoop, never to stand
straight again. After being burned, stabbed, chained and branded, he was scourged
sixty lashes against a stone obelisk, then immediately sent with pick and shovel into
the choking poisonous dust of the lead mines to work twenty of every twenty-four hours,
subsisting (between beatings) on one meal of coarse bread and water daily – until late in
January 236 A.D. when he was martyred.

Catholic martyrs have been flayed, grilled on a gridiron, burned, boiled, beaten, devoured, gored, racked, stoned,
crushed, drowned, asphyxiated, garroted, hanged, axed, guillotined, impaled, stabbed, flogged, eviscerated, torn,
quartered, pummeled, poisoned, gassed, shot, buried, frozen, starved, and worked to death because of our authentic Catholic Faith.

What has happened that the blood of the martyrs runs so thin in you, Holy Father, and in the
monstrously apostate prelates you have honored and inflicted upon us? Why is Your Holiness not
like Pope St, Pontian I ?

Galatians 2:11 “But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he
was to be blamed.”

Another letter to the monster:

Well, the only objection I have to this letter is in addressing it to the "Holy Father".  As my father used to say, "he is neither holy, nor a father."
