What is Pope John Paul II's leadership style?

A:
As pope, John Paul II was not always a good leader, sometimes displaying a wilfulness that startled even his most fervent admirers. Although he convoked a number of Bishops' Synods dealing with different aspects of church life, it soon became clear to the bishops that his mind was made up on most of the questions before they had a chance to speak. Another flawed aspect of his leadership style was that John Paul II insisted that the prime consideration in the appointment of new bishops was the candidates' willingness to stand unconditionally with him on a number of potentially explosive issues, a consideration that overrode virtually all others.

Was it wrong for Pope John Paul II to pray in a mosque?

Having the Bible as reference, answer to your question is yes. He should pray inside a closet. Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Peter, and therefore his successor, John Paul II, had been given the Keys to the Kingdom by Our Lord. As the Vicar of Christ on Earth, I can't see where it could have been wrong in praying anywhere.
