This has got to be one of the nastiest little stories still ongoing. Pope John Paul the Great's friend of many years, Wanda Poltawska, has written a book about their friendship and included a number of his letters to her. For doing this she has been attacked viciously by the former secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, who seems to be auditioning for the remake of Mean Girls. Apparently the Pope faked friendship with everyone except Dziwisz. This of course is the guy who refused to comply with the Pope's explicit instruction to destroy his private papers.
