Pope John Paul II Sainthood--John L. Allen, Jr.

[Akeeperoftheflame]

A nun healed by praying to John Paul II ? "There shall have no other 'gods' before me. "

Yet the current Pope and Pope John were both devoted to hiding the abuse of innocents.

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Far cry from "make him a saint".

@Akeeperoftheflame No one prays to Saints or any Holy Person. Asking for the intercession of Saints is historically recorded stretching though ancient judaism, and took clear Christian form in the first century (long before the bible you quote.)

Also, do some research on the specific reactions and changes directly made by "the current pope" - you'll obviously be suprised since you have no idea what your talking about. Pax Christi.

HE doesn't deserve it. Many kids were sexually abused while he was Pope, including myself. I will come out publicly with my story if this continues.

Yo, John Allen, Jr. is the man, the mack daddy of Catholic journalism.

Please do not put Pope John Paul II in the category of Herod the Great--He is a simple person who chose to be burried in simple way. People all over the world use to shout, "John Paul II, we Love you". He should be known as the "Beloved Pope" loved by even non-Catholics.
