There are many opinions out there about Paul VI. To liberals and progressives he's a saint, a great forward thinking pope. To traditionalists, he's the ultimate modernist who destroyed the Mass and abandoned the Papal Tiara. I personally have mixed feelings about the Pontiff. I believe that he was a faithful servant of Christ and his Church, but I also believe that what he did was completely misguided and harmful for the Church. By no means is he a great pope. He was a liberal who didn't understand what the church needed at the time (the 1960s.) Hmm, sounds familiar no? Does Pope Francis possibly come to mind? At least Paul VI acted like the pope, unlike Francis. I guess that was one good thing about Paul VI.
