Paul VI was a great Pope, he couldn't led better the church in those difficult times. Anyone in his place would have the same difficulties Pope Paul VI confronted. In the end, thanks to his work setting the bases, the "aggiornamento" ended well.
Added to this, he was a great Holly man; who although abandoned, confronted, and questioned in the most difficult times in modern history, carried his cross until the end with sanctity and dignity.
Paul VI should be canonized, he's a true saint.

JP II was not Paul's successor, it was JP I. Don't get me wrong. He tried and gave his all. I think he did more good then people give him credit for. He tried to bring the Church into the moderen world. Not easy to do with a Church that is 2,000 years old. I can't wait for him, JP I, and JP II to be cannonized.

You are one of the very few people who think that he was a bigger pope as JPII. First of all, Montini had no charisma. Second he always doubted and hesitated to act. He was a weak conductor of the VII council. You can have a great orchestra, but with an incompetent conductor the music sounds false!
And the last years of his pontificate he did nothing much for the Church! But he was a very honest man who suffered because of his indeed difficult task!

Decent priest. Honest and Holy man. But unfortunately not a very strong pope. Probably there were more capable cardinals for the papacy, but he was Pope John XXIII favorite! The last years of his papacy ment total stagnation for the Church. Forgotten by many people. Mainly because of his much more appealing succesor JPII.

How prophetic his words were when he said "from some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God" Lets hope for a true restoration to the Church.

En estos últimos años, pensé: ¿Por que olvidaron a Paulo VI, el Papa de la Esperanza?, recuerdo que lo veía por TV cuando era muy niño, lástima que su muerte me ha dejado sin palabras.

Di certo il pontificato di Paolo VI è stato uno dei più difficili di tutta la storia della cristianità.

Paulo VI no es un Papa olvidado... es uno de los más grandes personajes del siglo XX y es el "reformador" de la iglesia como la conocemos hoy, el que la introdujo a la modernidad. Es uno de los más grandes pontífices de la historia.

fu un grande Papa, fedele alla Tradizione, che ha avuto la sfortuna di vivere nel periodo più difficile per la Chiesa. Andrebbe rivalutato, non è vero che fu un trasgressore del depositum fidei, basti pensare alla "Humanae vitae". L'unico suo errore fu la Ostpolitik verso il comunismo

He had one of the most difficult pontificate in history. An underrated pope. He was bigger than John Paul 2.

Please Do Remember The Late Pope Paul VI ... He Suffered So Much During His Pontificate, And Is Nearly Forgotten, Treated As If A Shadow Overpassed The Vatican City. ....

Primer Papa desde pedro que viaja a Palestina, viajo a varios paises, Obtuvo votos en el conclave anterior aun sin ser cardenal, Continuo el Concilio Vaticano II e invito a laicos a observar el mismo, abolio la corte pontificia y deposito la triple corona en la basilica de san Pedro, indicando el cambio en la manera de su pontificado, sus diferentes acciones demostraron un profundo espiritu ecumenico

This POPE was a relative of my italian uncle. The great and unforgetable POPE was born a few minutes away from the home-village of my italian family. I saw the "casa natale" ( house and room of his birth, inclouding the furniture a. s. o. ) of this pope in the 60years and spoke to his very kind relatives. I will be impressed of it until the end of my live....rob

Please pray for Papa Montini. Sadly, he misread the times (largely due to the misguided influences of some of the people around him) The shining moment in his pontificate, the jewel in his crown, will always be Humanae Vitae, the beauty and truth of which the world is yet to realize.

Forgotten? I doubt that. He's one of the most remembered Popes, unfortunately enough. He was mainly responsible for the wreckovation of all the churches and the desecration of the Mass.
