>> a great irony of john papaul ii's papacy is while he tried to boost papal authority, at his death, despite the millions at his funeral, papal authority was lower and respect for the papacy was lower than at any time in recent history. he was a rock star, but even people who respected the papacy knew they couldn't trust it anymore. >> it took his successors to finally say, we must deal with this. >> despite all he accomplished, john paul ii's successors are tasked with renewing the world's faith in a broken church.
