A reader comes to the defense of John Paul II

There you have it: this reader thinks that polytheism (the worship of various false gods – in other words, idolatry) is the same as Catholicism, and he is coming to the defense of John Paul II.  Well yes, if you like idolatry, then I guess you would have to consider him John Paul the Great [Idolater]. But Jesus Christ teaches through His revelation that the gods of the heathen religions are demons, and that to put His one true religion on a par with the worship of demons, as John Paul II’s entire “Pontificate” did, is about as bad a sin and a heresy as one can commit.

Psalms 95:5- “For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils…” 1 Cor. 10:20- “But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God.  And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.” Pope St. Gregory the Great, quoted in Summo Iugiter Studio, 590-604: “The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her and asserts that all who are outside of her will not be saved.”
