The apparent failure of Pope John Paul to reform and reinvigorate the Church and to correct the errors of Vatican II, were doomed to failure as a result of the close monitoring of watchdogs such as Cardinal Ratzinger and other modernists who have been deliberate in their approach to the halls of power.
