I think both canonizations are premature.

John XXIII convened Vatican II. Huge mistake.

JPII neglected major parts of his job. His episcopal appointments were wretched, and as complaints about Hunthausen, Weakland, Clark, Hubbard, and others piled up, he did nothing. He was a dupe of the repellent Maciel.

If I’m not wrong all the Bishops you mentioned were recommended by Bernardin and Jadot.

Blame them.

Well I was right on two out of the three.

Waekland

 

Archbishop of Milwaukee[edit]

On September 20, 1977, Pope Paul VI appointed Weakland Archbishop of Milwaukee. He was consecrated bishop on November 8, in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist by Archbishop Jean Jadot.[4]

----------------------------

Clark

On April 23, 1979, Clark was appointed the eighth Bishop of Rochester by Pope John Paul II.[2]

 

Hubbard

On February 2, 1977, Hubbard was appointed Bishop of Albany by Pope Paul VI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following March 27 from Cardinal Terence Cooke, with Bishops Edwin B. Broderick and Edward Joseph Maginn serving as co-consecrators. He was the youngest bishop in the country at the time.

“John XXIII convened Vatican II. Huge mistake”.

Pope Francis doesn’t seem to think it was a mistake and has said the reason he forfeited the second miracle for John the 23rd is because John convened Vatican II.

In the case of JP2 two miracles have already been attributed to his intercession and Pope Benedict waived the 5 year wait requirement before the canonization process can be initiated.

Catholic theologians usually cite JP2 was one of the greatest pope’s in history. He’s already being called “Great” and only five other popes in history have been honored with that designation.

Hopefully Mother Teresa will be be canonized in the near future.

Not to mention the most egregious failing: he deliberately chose to disobey Our Lady’s request that the Third Secret of Fatima be made public in 1960. He said it “wasn’t for our time” and that was that. To all those who insist that it was done, how’s that “period of peace” workin’ out for ya?
