I have to ask why not just pray to the Father? This is what I as a christian don’t get and do not see it as biblical.

How do you pray to a dead human being who was as mortal as everyone else?

Or is this not a CHRISTian denomination?

I do not have to go through a dead person to get to God. Why didn’t this person do the same since a dead person does not cure anything?

I’m glad she got better and I believe all credit goes to God. I have no clue whether JPII had anything to do with it, and neither do any of us, so we can leave it at that.

Personally, I credit JPII with being one of those used by God (including Reagan, Thatcher and Kohl) to bring down the Iron Curtain. For that alone, I think he is a saint. No need to speculate on magic and miracles.

Why would anyone pray to a man for healing? Didn’t Jesus pay the price for us to begin with...?

I seem to recall someone asking Jesus saying something about letting the dead bury the dead. Follow Him.

Won’t be long. The calls of “santo subito” at the funeral told us that there would soon be evidence to support beatification and canonization. His spirit was strong in life and apparently stronger in death.
