Pope John Paul II was certainly not a good person. He didn't do anything about the sexual abuse in the RCC. He was one of those who did the cover-up. Don't know why people glorify him.

Fake news

No. I know someone who at the time wrote to John Paul II and told him he had been abused by a priest.

The Pope's answer was: I will pray for you. He didn't do anything about the abuse allegations. In fact, priests who abused kids merely were assigned to a new parish when people found out. Abusers didn't face any punishments, the abuse was simply covered up.

I deeply respect anyone who believes in Christ, but the Popes - maybe with the exemption of John XXIII - have all been implicated.

So pizzagate is now cheering 'Q' for placing hints about John Paul II's sermons? Oh my.

I am sorry this happened to your friend. It is awful. However, The Pope took actions to protect the children and further abuses that you are not aware of. The VIRTUS program was imstituted. Many safety precautions that both religious and lay people had to abide by we’re started. All are expected to take classes in awareness of pedophilia and child abuse. Did you know most pedophilia is committed by family members? And women are offenders almost as much as men? Anyone who works with children in the Catholic Church now has to be trained in recognizing pedophiles behavior. The Church has done a lot to change and protect children. Granted this should never happen to begin with.
