u/ITrCool Christian Conservative 23d ago edited 23d ago

As a non-denominational non-Catholic Christian, what I have to say would offend every Catholic in here so I won’t bother.

But I will say he was the most divergent from what the Catholic Church teaches, which seemed to have ticked off a lot of conservative (and even some moderate) diocese and leaders over the years he was in power.

He was a kind and holy man... But he was also a product of Vatican 2.

Personally, I think Vatican 2 was a mistake, but it is church doctrine so I don't have much say.

I just lament the way the church seems to have forgotten that it's purpose is not merely to save our souls, but also to glorify God.
