And these people wonder why organized religion doesn't have much credibility today. Instead of finding likenesses of the Pope and Mother Teresa, why aren't these same Catholics holding more of their own church officials responsible for the pedophilia scandal, including the late Pope John Paul II who did nothing in response to it?
There's a great book on the hypocrisies and deceptions of John Paul II and many of his predecessors. It's titled "Papal Sin -- Structures of Deceit." It was written a few years ago by Garry Wills, the distinguished historian, who has twice won Pulitzer Prizes. Wills, a former Jesuit seminarian, knows more about church history than 99 percent of the priests and bishops. He wrote the book before Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, and his portrayal of the man is highly unflattering. Ratzinger's views on women, for instance, are downright primitive.
