Pope John Paul II

=== Problems with traditionalists ===
In addition to all the criticism from those demanding modernisation, some [[traditionalist Catholics]] denounced him as well. These issues included demanding a return to the [[Tridentine Mass]],<ref name="HughHewitt" /> as well as the repudiation of reforms instituted after the Second Vatican Council, such as the use of the vernacular language in the formerly Latin-language [[Roman Rite]], [[ecumenism]], and the principle of [[religious liberty]].<ref>e.g. Marcel Lefebvre, ''An Open Letter to Confused Catholics'' (Herefordshire: Gracewing Publishing, 1986). {{ISBN|9780852440476}}.</ref> In 1988, the controversial traditionalist Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of St. Pius X (1970), was [[excommunication|excommunicated]] under John Paul II because of the unapproved ordination of four bishops, which Cardinal Ratzinger called a "schismatic act".<ref>A discussion of the crucial work of Ratzinger (later pope) to attempt reconciliation between Lefebvre and the Holy See, ''vide'' John Thavis, ''The Vatican Diaries: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Power, Personalities, and Politics at the Heart of the Catholic Church'' (London: Penguin, 2014), 147–49. {{ISBN|9780143124535}}</ref>

The [[World Day of Prayer for Peace]],<ref name="Assisi4" /> with a meeting in Assisi, Italy, in 1986, in which the pope prayed only with the Christians,<ref name="SanRufino" /> was criticised for giving the impression that [[syncretism]] and [[indifferentism]]<!--Don't change it back to "syncretism and/or indifferentism" as "and" gives the same ambiguity, e.g., that the event embraced or syncretism or indifferentism or both; see [[MOS#And/or]]--> were openly embraced by the Papal [[Magisterium]]. When a second Day of Prayer for Peace in the World was held in 2002,<ref name="DayOfPrayer" /> it was condemned as confusing the laity and compromising to false religions. Likewise criticised was his kissing of the Qur'an in Damascus, Syria, on one of his travels on 6 May 2001.<ref name="Qu'ran" />{{Unreliable source?|date=August 2022}} His call for religious freedom was not always supported; bishops like [[Antônio de Castro Mayer]] promoted [[religious tolerance]] but at the same time rejected the Vatican II principle of religious liberty as being liberalist and already condemned by Pope Pius IX in his ''[[Syllabus errorum]]'' (1864) and at the [[First Vatican Council]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu8E8GNnTIc |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/vu8E8GNnTIc| archive-date=11 December 2021 |url-status=live|title=Jan Paweł II Live at Vatican 1999 |publisher=YouTube |date=28 August 2011 |access-date=17 February 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
