Pope John Paul II called 'the greatest feminist of all
Well deserved (Though i wud have liked to see Mother Teressa take the Numero Uno Position more than the pope)
"Pope John Paul II called 'the greatest feminist of all Time'
A speaker at a Sydney conference at the weekend described the Pope as the "greatest feminist of all" because of his "fearless and consistent defence of women against the modern trend to turn them into sexual or reproductive objects".
Mrs Virginia Monagle, who was speaking at the Magdalene Foundation's Dignity of Women Day on Sunday at Merrylands in western Sydney, conceded the gains of feminism while lamenting the trend of some feminists to denigrate motherhood.
She referred in particular to the Pope's letter Mulieris Dignitatem, suggesting: "The Holy Father calls women to rediscover within themselves their uniqueness which is intrinsically linked with their maternal nature, and to bring this to others."
Mrs Monagle said: "Every woman - including those who are not biological mothers - is called to develop her maternal qualiities for the enrichment of humanity."
70 women attended the event, which focused on the quest for personal holiness. Magdalene Foundation National Coordinator said all the participants felt uplifted in their faith and united with other Catholic Women.

Bit of a joke really, since he was opposed to birth control, planned parenting and wouldn't let women become priests. But if I guess if the Magdalene society has to choose a Catholic might as well be him. Playing pretty fast and loose with the term feminist though if you ask me.

I Disagree Alexa, Mother didnt tell people to be good catholics rather she devoted her whole life to helping the needy and the wayfarer just like the bible teaches.
Rather than focusing on whos better suited, lets just hope there are more people like them, to come inthe coming years

He had is good day and mostly bad days.
But I think when he made that comment, WHEN he was already suffering from his mental deceases and stress.
I think Fidel Castro poison his food and soul when he visited Cuba. He told him that Chavez was going to be his vending Angel of Oil. Not only that Castro recommend that Che Guevarra need it to be nominated a Saint revolution of the catholic church. I believe that seal his cup of patience.
