 Your servant, Pope John-Paul II, the very embodiment of the ancient
 High Priest of the Jerusalem Temple in the time of Your incarnation,
 did much to burden Your people and little to offer them Your love
 and compassion. Just as with the Temple High Priest of Your time, 
 John Paul also gained his High Office through dishonesty and deception. 
 Just as with the Temple High Priest of Your time, John Paul executed 
 his High Office through heavy-handed persecution and used it for 
 personal enrichment. He became quite fat while Your children starved. 
 Just as with the High Priest of Your time, he turned his back on the 
 suffering of Your People and gave succor to their exploiters while 
 standing silent before the Warmakers who terrorized them. Just as with 
 the High Priest of Your time, he turned the Sacramental sacrifices and 
 offerings of Your people into a monetary commodity and a putrid defilement. 
 He chose Bishops and Cardinals on the basis of political loyalty not piety 
 or religious integrity. And just as with the Temple High Priest of Your 
 time, he violated and deformed our Covenant, turning the sweet burden
 of its yoke into a cursed load. Few Popes were such poor guardians of 
 your treasures or as poor shepherds of your flock. We will be grateful 
 when you finally return his rotten soul to Your judgement. 

 Amen.
