John Paul was a doctrinal conservative, and he also tended to be conservative on issues such as female reproduction and ordination. His writings on human sexuality are a broader reflection on the nature of masculinity and femininity and the resulting love and sexuality. These essays were an important advance in the Catholic way of thinking about sex. And he’s against feminism. He is also opposed to abortion, particularly in democracies where abortion is allowed. He also criticizes liberation theology, arguing that it places too much emphasis on political freedom at the expense of spiritual liberation. In his 1995 encyclical on the Gospel of Life, he re-emphasized the church’s view of life, condemning abortion, euthanasia, and all forms of the death penalty. Call it the culture of death that prevails in the world today. But his stances on the death penalty and on reducing debt and poverty in poor countries are generally politically liberal. This means that religious leaders cannot be described solely in terms of political labels such as conservative or liberal. The statue of John Paul II outside is popular with people. Aongking also has more religious sculptures for you to choose from.
