Big Pole on a Pedestal, No Hard Feelings Here

This is pretty interesting. You would be pressed to find a woman more revered in Italian culture, alive now or in the past century. Born illegitimately in a charity hospital, whose own marriage was not sanctioned by the Catholic church and persecuted because of it. Yet she is often held up in Italian society as a paragon of wisdom and virtue, worthy of emulation.

She takes an active interest in the doings of the church. She endorses the church plan to give the big Pole his halo as soon as possible. She clearly sees JP II as a good influence.

Interesting woman. I wonder what else she thinks.
