"As well as sympathetic doubters there have been harsh critics of John Paul's vision of love and responsibility. On their view, he is a man who had never been close to a woman and so fell victim not to ideals but to stereotypes. A vision of women always defined by their reproductive powers –mother, wife, temptress. Perhaps the Pope's most powerful opponent for many years was Nafis Sadik, former head of the United Nations Population Fund. She had a face to face meeting with the Pope in 1994 to discuss women's rights and church teaching."
