Reply #2: "Is the Pope Italian...?" Remember that ... ?

[defendandprotect]

As a former Catholic from childhood, think I can say this --

Pope John XXIII -- Vatican II -- who made the Church a democracy - and who

acknowledged every members right to their own conscience and told them to use

their personal conscience to decide for themselves whether or not to use birth

control was one of the last three Italian Popes and one of the last legitimate Popes.

The next two Italian Popes -- who also disappeared very quickly -- were allegedly

going to overturn restrictions on birth control -- and they are also rumored to have

both been vidtims of a right wing coup on the Vatican.

IMO, the Polish Pope was our first CIA Pope --
