A generally poor opinion. He had his good points (he reached out to Jews in particular, and helped take down the Evil Empire), but was very rigid theologically. I still can't forgive him for spending time opposing condom distribution in Africa to fight AIDS. He couldn't quite manage to really apologize for St Bartholomew's massacre however. I guess reaching to Protestants was a bridge too far, particularly since the Evangelicals are converting Spanish American (and Brazil) in droves.
Torie just said the type of thing I say all the time. Now how long before people start screaming about how he's a bigot?
