The angle of his missionary work is what the dimond brothers criticize. If you understand the reason for the words used was to bring everyone to a basic understanding of why man does stuff. Then show them the importance of Jesus Christ to share with all people the truth the church has upheld for the last 2000 years.If I was the Pope and I wanted to show to the world that I was the rightful successor of Peter and that I carry the same cross he did. I might have upside down crosses, but since im not I don’t.
I’ve been reading different things and through out history of the church, the hierarchy of the church and the leaders sometime fall into worldy desires. Where they want women, money, and secular power. The purist forms of Christ’s church that I have seen is when the leaders or people went around trying to obtain these worldly posessions is the faith of the lower clergy. Monks who made wine and liquor, monks who built schools and shealters, and monks who showed the grace of God to the sick and poor and did this all with love and not condeming or judging people, but instead they would pray and hold firm to the truth of the Church and pray for the souls of the corrupt that they may soften their hearts and open their eyes back to the Lord.
Pope John Paul II
Wrote 14 Encyclicals
Each of these are used to explain certain aspects of the Christian Faith in relation to worldly problems. John Paul stressed the need of bringing the message of God to “all cultures, all ideological concepts, all people of good will” with a proper “missionary attitude.” This attitude, he insists, must first begin with a proper regard of “what is in man,” again stressing the personalist theme. He stresses that a proper expression of the missionary attitude is not destructive, but rather begins with building on what is already there.

This may have been seen by some as conforming to modernism but it is not it is about preaching to a different world. In the time of Christ and the early church there was a seperation of classes people knew who was rich and who was poor and they gave them a reason to live and prosper. Today these lines of who is rich and poor has changed instead man now today can be born dirt poor and become the richest person in the world and they can do this without God. John Paul II mission was to address this new world and keep the understanding of Christ relevent today without changing the church to match the times. The changes made to the church and how it pracitices its faith publicly adjust to the modern world slightly but not neccicarly the modern world but the societies around the world that make up the Church. Services in America will be slightly different then those done in France. The adjustments made to the mass was to have a more uniformal practice around the world.
I’m sorry but I don’t have the time to refute all of JPII’s falsehoods. but his ministry (if you want to call it that) was to water down Christianity so that he could spread indifferentism. This all in the name of ecumenism. True ecumenism is the purest act of true charity, to bring people into the true faith out of the darkness . Which by the way John P II never tried to do. Also, by the way is all the MFHM do with their time (missionary work). The Church can never change, no matter how much someone tries to change it.
Although some popes have been immoral, there are alot of people out there who like to defame the Church. Also there is a difference between immoral behavior and preaching heresy. Sin can be forgiven but heresy will place you outside the Church.
