      After a secondary school exam, he and his friends used to go for creampies

    2. Another guardian of the pedophiles. As a Pole I respect some of what he did but the extended protection of pedophiles should forever tarnish him.

      And his papacy did unspeakable damage to Polish culture. And to efforts again AIDS. And to fighting pedophilia among priests. Easily one of the most evil people to ever hold that evil position.

      Interestingly, nobody in Poland remembers this date but everyone remembers the exact time of his death

      I watched his motorcade drive by from the roof of the McDonald’s I worked at when he visited Chicago. It was a BIG BIG deal, given Chicago’s Polish population.

    6. The cult of the pope was insane in the 90s. The Pope was on every corner, sometimes literally

      It’s interesting how there’s yet to be an Italian pope after him.

      He broke the streak for good

      I’m a non-practicing Catholic. When I was born, Pope John Paul II was already the Pope I was born in 1985, and when he passed away, I was 20 years old. Although I haven’t gone to church in many years, I’ve always seen John Paul II as a saint. The strong connection he had with Portugal, especially with the Sanctuary of Fátima, left a deep mark on our people. To me, he will always be the ideal Pope.
