Title: Cuts through the hagiography
Review: This DVD by Helen Whitney presents JPII in all his complexity. "John Paul the Great" was also a flawed human being, caught in his own prejudices. Poland never went through an "Enlightenment" and his convictions betray this. Like all presentations, this is an interpretation. It's strength lies in presenting what is often left out: the pope's fears about liberation theology and the possibility of women's leadership in the church.
