Ho ho ho! I'm no pope, but I recognize that Saint designation is a RECOGNITION of some soul's existing "saint" status, and NOT a CREATION of that status.
Furthermore, who are YOU to tell ME that we shouldn't pursue justice against deviant priests buggering OUR CHILDREN!
I'm Catholic to the Core, but those that bring an individual like the Pope into the cult of personality sicken me. You want a cult of personality, do it with CHRIST.
(And to answer any Protestants out there seeing this as a crack in the idea of a Pope, well, the Pope has authoritative teaching concerning matters of faith and morals. Protection of those who abused children is a horrible lapse in applying correct morals.)
Today is the Feast of the Divine Mercy. On the subject of "Enemies and those who are a thorn in our side", our Lord said to St. Faustina:
The Lord said to me, "It should be of no concern to you how anyone else acts; you are to be My living reflection, through love and mercy. I answered, "Lord, but they often take advantage of my goodness." "That makes no difference, My daughter. That is no concern of yours. As for you, be always merciful toward other people, and especially toward sinners." (1446) It is because you are not of this world that the world hates you. first it persecuted Me. Persecution is a sign that you are following in My footsteps faithfully. (Jesus to suffering souls - 1487)
We would all do well to heed that advice.
