Papa Wojtyla: Part 2

In the Third World, many Catholic priests are politically active in support of the poor. Latin America is the birthplace of 'liberation theology', seen by some as a misbegotten mixture of Christianity and Marxism. Elsewhere, particularly the United States, there are calls for a Church that would accept homosexuality, the ordination of women, married priests, divorce and contraception. This second film looks at how Wojtyla's papacy deals with some of these problems, at the Vatican's part in maintaining the structure and traditions of the Church, and at why Papa Wojtyla has been described as 'the most adored but the most disobeyed pope in recent history'.
