Santo Subito, Immediate Sainthood of Pope John Paul II Options

[BeyondElite]

During the funeral of Pope John Paul II in Saint Peter's Basilica and Square, I noticed that thousands of People, mostly Poles, briefly interrupted the funeral of John Paul II with calls for his immediate canonization, with voices saying "Santo Subito,"(immediate Sainthood) and banners saying the same exact words. In your opinion, do you think Pope John Paul II should be decalred a Saint from his future successor? Why?

Since, according to the Vatican, it is highly possible that Pope John Paul II will be recognized as a saint, I consequently agree with the declaration of Pope John Paul II to Sainthood, because the Pope " testify to the public respect that he gained. As his mission by virtue of his office, Pope John Paul II emphasised what he called the universal call to holiness and attempted to define the Roman Catholic Church's role in the modern world. He spoke out against communism, imperialism, materialism, Nazism, racism, oppression and unrestrained capitalism. He defended traditional Roman Catholic teachings on human life by opposing abortion, contraception, human cloning, capital punishment, euthanasia, and war. He also defended traditional Roman Catholic teachings on marriage by opposing divorce and same-sex marriage." So, what do you think?

Do you need to have a miracle to be a Saint? No. And we're talking about Catholic Saint. Catholic Saints doesn't necessarily need to perform miracles so they may become Saints. They just need to be holy and do good deeds on Earth, defending their Catholic faith. For instance, Saint Cletus (third Pope of the Roman Catholic Church) became a Saint by defending his faith to Roman Catholicsm and being Holy and doing good deeds on Earth. He was declared Saint because of his martyrdom, even though he didn't perform miracles.

Karol Wojtyla did not die a martyr. Nor did he produce any miracles. He was a great man, and an even better pope, but I do not think he should become a saint.
