Just trying not to clog up the thread, but here is another opportunity if you have overlooked anything.
Thank you. I did overlook something: two close-parentheses in the following paragraph:
And just what "faith" is it, that he inspired them to "keep?" Indifferentism? (Assisi I AND II) Universal salvation? (Under his watch the American bishops demanded priests to say "and for all" instead of "and for many" in the consecration of the wine at Mass, and he never did diddly SQUAT about it.) Communion-in-the-hand?
That's a whole topic unto itself -- but the world's eyes were upon him for many years while he personally gave Communion ONLY on the tongue, even while other 'ministers' even in his presence gave it out in-the-hand. All the while he A) never spoke about the abuse, B) never issued any directive to prevent it, C) never reprimanded anyone on planet earth for practicing it, D) never denounced any bishop anywhere who punished priests for refusing to give communion-in-the-hand (Fr. Schell in California was one of these, who lost his salary, pension, health insurance, apartment, access to the church and permission to say Mass, all because he would not give communion-in-the-hand. And he was not the only one to lose all these things for that reason.)
Additionally: JPII managed to give the impression that he was 'traditional' to those who wanted to believe it, while he did nothing to defend tradition when bishops all over the world openly acted to destroy it. You would have to have lived through this to know it happened because hardly anyone spoke about it. While it was happening it was too unbelievable, that it was not possible to put it into words, but now we can look back at it with objectivity, if we dare. Curiously, too many can't seem to manage this objectivity when they continue to defend the memory of JPII as if his pontificate was an example of holiness. He may have been the Holy Father but his papacy wasn't a very good example of holiness. And its effect on Poland has been disastrous.
Poland -- Most providentially, just as I was typing this, I was playing a recording of a recent Fr. Hewko sermon, when he explains the effect of JPII on Poland:
"...Jesus Christ founded His Church on Tradition, so that when any time comes, like at Vat.II when the pope and bishops go with a new doctrine, THEY are the ones schismatic. They are the ones turning their back on Tradition and the Faith. They are the ones that have fabricated a new religion. And that defines our crisis now.
"We're not schismatic disobedient dissidents! We haven't changed the Faith! We want to be FAITHFUL to the religion of all time! We want to be FAITHFUL to the Mass of all time! And it is not we who have changed it, but it's modernist Rome and the conciliar church, and that's why we REJECT the conciliar church. And we make WAR with the conciliar church, because it's taking, literally taking millions of souls to hell!
"Fr. Pfeiffer was recently in Poland, and an old priest, who is an exorcist told him: MUSLIMS have tried to destroy Catholic Poland and they never succeeded. They became stronger in the Faith, and fought -- the great Hussars [17th cent.] went to BATTLE against the Muslims, and WON, through Our Lady. He said Communists have tried to destroy Catholic Poland [20th c.], and they never succeeded. There were many martyrs. The same could be said about Ukraine. And also, the nαzιs tried to crush Poland [20th c.]. And he said, Poland always kept the Faith.
"But what made Poland fall? What destroyed the Faith in Poland? Pope John Paul II! The pope of the conciliar church -- the pope who promoted false religious liberty, the false Newmass, the false doctrines and the new doctrines of the fabricated conciliar church. And this conciliar church is persecuting Tradition. And that's why we're having Mass here, and it's also why the Society of St. Pius X has already gone over, by accepting the Doctrinal Declaration (AFD) and not fighting against that which undermines the complete Catholic Faith, they have gone over to the enemy. And they're doing it in a muddled fashion, a seductive fashion, a deceitful fashion, as we all know, and these are all the works of the darkness. That's how the devil works, in the darkness..."
