Woody Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 John Paul II is on a fast track to becoming a Saint. There is usually a five year waiting period after someone dies in order to be declared a Saint. But this period has been waved for John Paul II. So ... John Paul is being waived on through. According to the news ... it is not thought that he will have much trouble getting his Sainthood.The French report that a nun was miraculously cured after praying to John Paul II.

Moderators Nan Posted April 2, 2007 Moderators Posted April 2, 2007 Not quite on topic - but if John Paul 2 had not been pope, how would he have been judged as a human being? Quote
jasd Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Notwithstanding, or regardless, canonization by the Universal Church... the bible declares John Paul to have already been a saint; as it declares you and/or me. Quote
Woody Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 AMEN. We are all set apart to be used by God. Some of us do our job better than others but it is the same job that each of us have.

Moderators Gerr Posted April 3, 2007 Moderators Posted April 3, 2007 I wish the Christian world would just read their Bibles and see that sainthood is not the purview of the Catholic Church. Sainthood is the privilege and the right of EVERYONE who put their trust in Jesus Christ. Gerry Quote
Woody Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 The Catholics have a different definition of "saint" than the Bible. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Gerr Posted April 4, 2007 Moderators Posted April 4, 2007 That's why I'm no longer Catholic. Gerry Quote
