Catholics do not understand God. None of them?
You can stand in judgment of all of them?
That's a very bigoted thing to say. Tell us more.

"Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven."
That statement was addresed to the Apostles. The last of them died about 1900 years ago. It has no application to any person living today, Catholic or otherwise.

Oder said the "relatively young" nun, whom he said he could not identify for now, was inexplicably cured of Parkinson's after praying to John Paul after his death last April 2. It says she was healed after praying "to" the deceased pope not after asking him to pray for her.
To: NYer
How would her healing, the miracle, be attributed to the pope if all he did was intercede? He didn't heal her. He just asked on her behalf. If I prayed for you and you were healed, would I be the one credited for the miracle?

You sure can find 'em...lol.

A nun knows how to pray. She would ask the deceased to turn to God and pray to Him for her. The reporter knows nothing. Since when do they get anything right.

How would her healing, the miracle, be attributed to the pope if all he did was intercede? Because it was through his intercession that she was healed.

why the unseemly haste in the last few years to fine new Saints? I don't believe the word 'haste' applies so much as 'expansion'. JPII canonized more saints during his pontificate than any other pope. All of these individuals had to pass through the same rigorous examination. He expanded the number to include those from more diverse backgrounds. St. Gianna - for mothers with difficult pregnancies, for example and St. Nimatullah Al Hardini, a Maronite monk, embraced by those in an Eastern Catholic Tradition.
From what I understand, Benedict XVI plans to slow down the number of canonizations.

And how can you be so sure of this? It is up to the commission to exhaustively study the medical records of that individual, not me. However consider that, as Mrs. Don-o pointed out in an earlier post, thousands of miracles have occured at Lourdes yet only 71 are documented. The process of ascribing a miracle is not flippant. It entails scrupulous examination of medical records.

Heaven is where God is, and God is everywhere. But if Peter could heal why not John Paul? It would be by the power of God.

The Mormans make the same claim and state that their boy is a present day apostle. Which of you is correct?

Thanks for trying but where did Jesus ever mention "saints"? "And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints." - Revelations 5:8
Below is a prayer to St. Joseph that dates back to 50 A.D. - long before the last Apostle had died and less than 20 years after the death of Christ. If the early Christians asked the "dead" foster father of Christ to intercede for them and it was "wrong," why is there no "documentation" from the Twelve Apostles "reprimanding" them for this? Surely, the Apostles would have corrected the early Church had It been in err?
PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH (50 A.D.)
O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers.
O St. Joseph I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
