Fueled by a long string of poor appointments, primarily by Pope Paul VI [1963-1978], this group unfortunately came to be dominated by the very revisionist forces who now openly war against Catholic orthodoxy –

Anyone know who of the current ringleaders fall into this group? And which don't?

Thanks to the mandatory retirement age for bishops and the age limit for voting by cardinals imposed by Paul VI, he was able to shape the episcopate to his liking. This has also been the case for JPII. All but 10 of the voting age cardinals were appointed by JPII. I would guess that a similarly high number of the bishops were approved by him also, given his long term in office.
