Sir, - The Catholic Church is the spotless spouse of Christ. To suggest or say it "sinned" is blasphemy, no matter if it is the phenomenologist Karl Wojtyla, otherwise known as Pope John Paul II, that says it. Consequently, the Church does not need to have its Vicar of Christ tour the earth apologising to heretics, schismatics nor Arians for anything. I suggest he would be better employed staying in Rome and trying to halt the demise of the Catholic faith and its priesthood, which has plummeted since that perverted council Vatican II and which has accelerated during his reign. - Yours, etc.,
