In this case, you may be speaking from experience. The pope was just a Polish man named Karol Wojtyla. Nothing more, nothing less. He was of no more importance than me, or you, or anyone else. He was a decent person who tried to improve relations in the middle-east, but who clung to ignorant and old ideas such as telling those in the church they can't use protection while having sex. He deserves no more or less respect than I do or you do.
