A note to those who have criticisms to offer of the papacy of John Paul II:
Right now would be an excellent time to keep your mouths shut and your keyboards idle.
If your criticisms are true and important — I can easily think of some that are, and one reader has supplied me with others of which I’d been unaware –they’ll still be true and important after the grass is green on his gravesite.
Update
A reader points out that the final phrase above is unfortunate, since Popes are entombed (“encrypted” now having a different meaning) rather than buried.
