Well of course!
Looking forward to Divine Mercy Sunday, 2014, when the Church makes it offical.
Duh. ALl Christians are saints.
I don’t think JPII should be canonized to sainthood based on the following.
He knew of the abuse of children by perverted Priests and did nothing about It for over 25 Years. Benedict XVI was in the position to help the children and also did nothing for 25 Years. Bene XVI was an enabler and therefor can’t speak to the Character of JPII.
All very sad, Still a major problem. No need to rush.
I was taught that “ all Catholics who die in the state of Grace are saints and go to heaven”.
Insofar as a Protestant can be a Saint I heartily agree.
