Something to Screw up the Good Cop/Bad Cop Narrative

For something like six years now, reactionaries have managed to convince themselves of a completely fictitious narrative. That narrative is as follows:

John Paul II was the bad cop Pope. He was a self-absorbed rock star who didn’t care about truly true Catholic faith. He held things like the Assisi conference, which just goes to show how terrible a Pope he was. But now Benedict has come to save us from all that and he is just about to crack down on all those damned JPII groupies by…

…holding another Assisi Conference!

Me: I never saw the big deal about it. But then, I am one of those wretch neo-Caths who have no sense of the truly true faith.
