I've been thinking about this question of what makes someone a "Bad person." Do I agree with you? No. Does that mean you're a bad person? No. I guess there's a line you cross between believing what you do and forcing that belief on others. That's the line we shouldn't be crossing and that gets crossed all too often. I'd say that if you were anti-abortion in and of itself, you weren't a bad person, but that if you were so anti-abortion that you were blocking women from going to the abortion clinic, than you are.
As for the pope, how do you define great? My opinion is that as popes go, he's done an okay job, not spectacular, not terrible, but OK. He's a leader in charge of a certain flock of people and as a leader, he hasn't done either a terrible or horrible job. That's just my opinion, though. You have every right to disagree.
