At least seven people wrote Decker and told him to “go to hell.” For instance, MariaTM supportively promised, “I will pray for your burning soul.” And Amanda kept things real simple: “Go to hell lowlife.” One simple text just said: “hater.”
Someone calling himself or herself SSPVArchangel asked, “When did the other 2 ‘popes’ die and who made Decker Supreme Pontiff??” On FreeRepublic.com there was KarlFromOhio who cleverly wrote, “Since John Paul II eliminated the Devil’s Advocate position in the canonization procedure, I guess USA Today has decided to take the position on a pro bono basis.”

I once quoted my college coach as telling someone to go to hell. I was talking to my girlfriend and she promptly told me that Christians don’t tell people that.
I thought about it and she was right.
Angelo Roncalli was my grandmother’s cousin. She was always proud of that.
Hey, they got my name wrong!
And it was a clever comment, too.
As for more vitriolic responses, whatever happened to saying, “I disagree.”?
I, too, have a problem with the rapidity of the canonizations of these two men. I think it dilutes the honor of being named a saint. I don’t doubt that John Paul II may have been named a saint in due time, but I don’t understand John XXII. He was only Pope for 5 years, and his only claim to fame of which I am aware is Vatican II. Just because someone is a Pope doesn’t make them a saint. Lesser known people, who may be very saintly in their lives, will probably have to wait many, many years to achieve that honor.
Once a Pope is canonized ,what`s next? Is it binding on The Lord?
I also am confused about Saint Hood, I always thought a Saint was simply a follower of Christ, a Christian or simply a forgiven sinner
So is all this Saint Hood and Canonization binding on the Lord
Cant find it anywhere in my Bible
