the pope was ineffective in the world of politics. he may have objected to the attack on iraq but i suspect that many r.c's supported it.
certainly many xtians did!
as for communism or socialism being evil that is plain stupid. they are simply economic philosophies. if they are evil then capitalism most certainly is too.
we live in a capitalist world, therefore the evils of the world, such as poverty, hunger and greed, and most definitely war, have more to do with a capitalist economic system than with any other.
so what did the pope do that actually had a good, practical impact on the world?
anything or nothing? i suspect nothing, altho those who believe in that rather weak and very shaky superstition called xtianity, will no doubt disagree.
