bye bye JPII
Part of the world says fairwell to JP2 who was the most mediatized catholic in contemporary history. Global superstar, he participated to the end of the Cold War, the 'democratization' of Poland his home country, the launching of online catho-websites... He also wrote several books to share his holy perspective on HIV/AIDS, homosexuality and religious extremism... But not one line about the very controversial behaviour of his staff members. JP2 is gone. A man died. An institution is waiting for its new guru. The vote of Cardinals is motivated by political and strategic purposes. The new Pope might be African, Latin American or Italian; but the job description is a tough one! Check it out. The new guy will have to be the Pope of the global War on Terror and he will have to make Poverty History? What kind of man fits the profile?... Hey! There might be one guy... Be afraid, be very afraid...
