I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that I detect the insult here. Are there issues where you disagree with the Pope where you consider him to be "open-minded"? Alternatively, are there issues where the Pope agrees with you where you consider him to be "closed-minded?" >> I think there is plenty of evidence that John Paul II was *very* >> open-minded, he just also happened to reach different conclusions with >> his open mind than you have. > >Well then why don't you post some evidence instead of heaving insults. >Perhaps I'm wrong, but from what I understand the Pope stifled debate on >the subject of women in the clergy. And if he did so after open-mindedly considering all sides of the issue, would you still consider him to be closed-minded on the subject for issuing a final decision?
