He should've covered those crucial holes. It allowed the heretics to strike at the very core of the Installation.

>He should've covered those crucial holes.
They were well covered friend

Emperor Popatine was really a man who embodied the classic popes at a time when a classic tradition following pope was exactly what the church did not need at the time, and to compound the issue he never truly wanted the job in the first place I feel. He was always more comfortable behind the scenes and when writing theological works.

I feel his legacy will be one of the placeholder, the man who recognized when he was not fit for the job and gracefully bowed out to live a life of religious contemplation. I highly recommend reading his various writings.

In the end he was a coward who couldn't take the heat. So the gay lobby blackmailed the church into submission. He should have gone out in the open. He should have reached out for the flock. He should have denounced and purged the church the church of all its gay and pedophile elements, not try to protect them. The faithful would understand. But instead he gave into the gay lobbyists and now we have this antichrist pope.

Yes and a great theologian.

Don't fall for le palpatine 9gag/reddit memes.

I've heard that he was heavily involved in covering up and protecting cases of sexual abuse

I watched the Frontline special about him. Apparently he decided he'd retire in December 2012 after receiving a full report on the number of homosexual and pedophile members of the clergy, and after learning just how widespread the child rape crisis was.

I feel bad for the guy though, John Paul deuce neglected the growing rape problem until he died, then allowed it to be dumped on his successor's desk.

You sound mentally ill
