Although I am not surprised in the least that he would result to unethical means to protect the church's wealth. I have to admit that I never cared for the man who I regard as a throw back to the pompous prelates of the pre-Vatican era. The people can thank Pope John Paul II for the present state of the church. Isn't little wonder that millions, especially younger people, have rejected the church as being totally irrelevant? As I have stated before in my extended family of some forty nieces and nephews only two continue to go to church. Among my grandnieces and nephews the last four didn't even have a church wedding.
