Oh, and don't forget the slavery...
You cannot blame someone who had nothing to do with these issues. Although he hasn't specifically said sorry, he did do great work in issues of human rights. Please don't trivialize these because he didn't apoligize for the actions of others.

I acknowledge what the Americans did to other people, and I loathe the fact that we nearly destroyed a race of people (as well as other peoples we have killed/enslaved) and have never admitted it was wrong to do so. Germany, however, is different because they
did admit they did the wrong thing. Plus Germany has very little Nazi influence these days. Yes, John Paul apologized for killing and torturing heresists, however this came about 750 years later after it happened. And he still is (was) opposed to homosexuality.
