Sure, they are suspicious in that conspiracy theory way. That's one of the features of these things isn't it? You can find something that looks a bit odd if you squint and then you look for another thing that might be unusual and then you put one on top of the other and it's a theory.
If you went around making up motives every time anything was a bit unusual, you'd have a life of conspiracies. And that seems to be what some people do. We used to have one on here.Last edited by DCI Harry Batt; 24-02-2021, 13:09.

And those reforms JP1 had in mind... well, we're talking about a doctrinally conservative and pastorally progressive guy here. He wasn't going to suddenly allow abortion. Most of his programme was pretty much Pope John Paul II's programme as well. And none of it was a break from his predecessors either. The position against free-market capitalism was taken seven popes earlier.
And the whole thing how he was going to uncover corruption... John Paul II, a man with balls of steel couldn't. Francis, another tough operator, is struggling. The election of Luciani was a stroke of luck for the bad guys, because he was no streetfighter.
