Moratorium II
Posted by

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.
