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? |

Latest news. "Benedict overrides 5-year waiting period" Not only miracles ARE NEEDED for sainthood, such miracles must occure AFTER John Pauls death. Thus far, no such thing has been proven. |
