AP-NORC poll details rift between lay Catholics and bishops

9. No - I'm just a kid

I was born in the 70's and Catholic school for me was late 80's into the mid 90's (and then college - graduated in the very beginning of 2000's). I don't remember much adieu about JPII at all, especially in high school. It's like this presence was acknowledged, but not overly emphasized. Again, the Franciscans were a different breed. We had a smattering of Jesuits as well, which is Pope Francis' order, I believe. Grade school was run by nuns. Nuns seem to lean more liberal in my experience.

Benedict was awful and backwards. I'm not super devout, but I still attend Church now and then and I *still* have not acclimated to all the changes he made to Mass.
