Is the Pope influenced by Orion?

I find this a little contradictory then in the face of the foundation of the material which lays out the distinction between the two polarities. If we take a known case of an almost life long enslavement and rape of one entity by another against her will, like the Fritzl case, is it then impossible to ascribe that act to the negative polarity? Sorry to use such a horrific example, but that was at least one instance where I was 100% sure I'm looking at evil.

It's as Ra said.   You can never be 100% sure of someone's intentions or judgement.  Even in the most extreme of cases.  You're certainly free to take guesses, but that's all they are.  Guesses.  There is no such thing as absolute certainty during 3D incarnation.  Ra got to tell us about certain entities' polarity because he resides in a part of timespace where polarity is as easily-distinguished as skin color is for us.  But we don't have access to that level of insight into people's inner being-ness.  The distortions that separate us all make it impossible.

Further, even if you have posited a case where most people are going to make the same guess, that really does not substantiate passing judgments on much more complex individuals in much more complex circumstances.  There's a handful of people whose polarity I'm willing to guess at as well, but that still leaves 99.9999999999% of the population where I'd never want to presume to guess.

As for the unfortunate you discussed, what it boils down to is this:  Regardless of what WE think of his actions, if somehow - no matter how mind-bogglingly distorted it was to anyone else - he had honestly convinced himself he was doing a helpful thing by keeping that woman captive, then there's still a chance he was acting from positive impulses.  I mean, such a mental state would be waaaaay past "insane" by human standards, but insane is not necessarily evil.  Even if the insanity produces actions which would appear evil to outsiders, it's HIS perceptions\distortions, and no one else's, that determine his polarity.

Which is another part of how\why polarity is impossible to ever judge with certainty, and can never be deduced from actions with true reliability.

Or, a related real-life example:  Every few years, there's a horrible case of a mother murdering their own child because they've become convinced the child has a demon in them and has to be rescued by freeing their soul.  Most people would say that kindercide is evil.  But assuming the mothers are telling the truth about their motivations (which is yet another thing we cannot know for certain) they honestly believed they were performing a necessary service for the greater good of the child's eternal spirit.  Hence, not necessarily negative.  

We just can't tell.

I really think those who are seriously trying to pursue the positive path should avoid passing these sorts of judgments whenever possible.  The positive path is the path of inclusion, acceptance, and universal love.  Worrying overmuch about whether or not someone is "evil" or "negative" is, by itself, mildly contrary to the positive energies.  Fundamentally, "us versus them" is a negative attitude, no matter what exact form it takes.
