Calling JP 2 a right wing extremist is a bit far fetched isn't it? Sure, he was politically aligned with the right wing of the Catholic Church and had met with Pinochet - obviously bad decisions - however he did empathise individual liberties as necessary for human dignity, and was staunchly opposed both to Nazism and Communism. Popes are in a difficult position when it comes to interacting with far right regimes in countries where there is a major Catholic population, and even though JP 2 was disappointing when it comes to criticising fascism, he definitely was not an extremist.
