Papal Post-Mortem: The Best I've Seen

Once again, the Boston Phoenix's Dan Kennedy sifts through the media wreckage to share his sharp insight with us. His take on Pope John Paul II's legacy balances the mainstream view that everything the Pontiff touched turned to gold with a more realistic assessment: "John Paul was a great man, a good man, and a deeply flawed man." He may have helped to bring down oppressive Communist governments, but he also allowed his own Church to destroy the lives of some of its youngest members.
