I'm here not only to pray for him, but also to pray to him

Oops...!

[AlGone2001]

I don't need a man to make me a saint any more than I need him to save me.

Jesus did it all.

This is complete religious stupidity!

Way more pomp, ceremony, and adoration than is given to the Lord these days.

Calls for Sainthood As Pope Laid to Rest

Just because the impeached *Bubba made the trip, doesn't make him a saint - does it? (Heaven help us - and I really mean it...)

[ASOC]

No flames, please - I'm sure the Pope was a nice guy and all - but, why did he order all of his papers burned?

There were several (perhaps unsavory) other things that went on in the background on his watch, not counting the whole pedophile thing.


Also - More folks sainted in 20 some years than in all of the prior history of the organization....I have yet to figure that one out, but will keep reading, perhaps it will come to me. I know a little of Mother Teresa, her work and nomination, so I can see the rational there.

Did JPII do good in his time, no doubt. Is he a saint? Don't know - Can any man be? Guess it would be the call of the man elected to replace him at this post. Should be interesting.

All prayers are directed to God, but Catholics believe that prayer can be strengthened by the intercession of saints who are already in God's house.

God blessed us all by putting John Paul II among us.
