Wojtyla argued that atheism, whether existential or Marxist, is inherently solipsistic, and is, therefore, unable to achieve a proper notion of intersubjectivity.
Wojtyla states again and again that Marx’s promethean dream is attractive to workers because it has engaged the nature of human labor and its role in man’s self-integration.

Karol Wojtyla and Halina Krolikiewicz were good friends, but there is no indication that they were planning marriage; moreover, the real-world Halina was very much part of Karol Wojtyla’s discussions with his friends about his vocation (as any reader of Witness to Hope would have known).

 Guardian | The Pope - political activist, anti-globalist, totalitarian
But Wojtyla's instinct is that the 21st century will be the great Christian century - a real springtime for Catholic humanity, despite all the present evidence of a decline in communicants and vocations.
Wojtyla glories in the fact that the church is the light that stands out against the surrounding darkness - and that the faithful are really called to a life in which they are bound to be misunderstood and persecuted by secular ideologies.
And in his beloved third world, it was Wojtyla's own decision to go on the heresy hunt against liberation theology - that most potent gospel-intoxicated witness to the truth that the church's first mission is to the poor.

 The Demise of Karol Wojtyla - Imposter Popes & Idol Altars
Luciani's "death wound" was healed when Wojtyla kept the John Paul tradition alive, although this verse of Apocalypse primarily refers to the revival of Roman paganism according to most Apocalypse commentators.
For if Wojtyla was not a true pope, he was surely Pontifex Maximus, after the pattern of all those Roman Emperors before him.
Wojtyla's kingdom was definitely of this world, and it is the roar of the crowds for his exaltation more surely than any other event during his time in office that brands him as antichrist extraordinaire.

Though Embracing the mystical theology which assumed faith in divine revelation and spoke to the community of believers, Wojtyla and his mentors knew that philosophical analyses of human action and ethics were of the utmost importance in the confrontation with communist theoreticians.
Nonetheless, Wojtyla admired Scheler's ability to clarify lived experience, and he suggested that one could apply the phenomenological method of reflection to the experience of the believer in attending to revelation.
Wojtyla's approach to the human person has been shaped by Scheler's emphasis on human personality and his intuitive style of reflecting on experience and values.

Given the favorable hullabaloo that the media raised over the death of John Paul II, Ratzinger’s comment on the eve of the conclave about speeding up the process of JPII can easily be seen as a smart campaign maneuver to attain the papacy.

Wojtyla’s extremely bad example in morals would certainly annul any attempt to make him a saint.
