Maybe Che Guevera more than Fidel Castro.

I'm sure Kleiman's comment is directed more at ignorant denunciations than Jeanne d'Arc's post, but he betrays real ignorance himself. This isn't even just about the dangers of hagiography--unlike Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II died in office, and they're about to vote on his successor. Granted lay Catholics don't get a vote, but saying that nothing critical should be said about his papacy out of respect for the dead is analagous to saying that nothing critical should be said about Yasser Arafat after his death & before the Palestinian elections.

I'm not arguing that John Paul II is morally comparable to Yasser Arafat--I'm only analogizing the circumstances. Respect for the dead and the mourners is crucial, but it's not the only factor, and there are ways of being respectful without being silent or dishonest.

Actually, if anything a Catholic like Jeanne d'Arc anything has more right to speak about John Paul II & her hopes and fears about the Church than your average American has to speak about Yasser Arafat & his hopes and fears about his successor.

The address you posted is not the same as listed on the pages you cite; it should be 4009 Dancing Cloud Court.

Also FWIW, searching on '"Guy McFarland" destin' in Google comes up with a different phone number of (850) 269-2814.
