Pope John Paul II Aplogies

Pope John Paul II issued over one hundred apologies over the course of his papacy. This was an important step for the Catholic church. These apologies allowed the world to see the Church's new compassionate and rational view on actions of the past. With apologies ranging from Galileo to the Holocaust, Pope John Paul II covered many unresolved situations and put the Catholic church on the right side of these mishaps. From these apologies, one will present itself as being the best representation of the Pope's sincerity.

  1. Pope John Paul II was very famous for the apologies he made. As you note, he made a number of very famous apologies during his papacy. Are you considering just one for your paper or his apologies as a whole?

  2. do you think an apology puts the church on the right side? can an apology really fix what the church has done wrong? especially when it is about something as terrible as the holocaust?
