8. some believe that John Paul I was murdered . . .

because he wasn't in line with the reactionaries controlling the Vatican . . . John Paul II has undoubtedly done some good, but he has also maintained the Church's 12th century outlook on things like morality and sexuality . . . history will show his impact to be far less than Pope John XXIII, who instituted some real change . . . still, I respect JPII for his commitment to peace and justice, however incomplete it may have been (e.g. for gays, women, etc.) . . .
