I have plenty of education non of which I garnered from an ancient book of fairytales where I'm required to worhip an invisible, inaudible, unable god which requires pulling some dead guy out of his crip to to pray over and make his corpes a saint. Sorry but that's ridiculous and you know it.

They put him where they could have easy access because there were in their eyes miracles and they expected already to make him a saint IMO.

IMO I think you are creepy and ridiculous for being so ignorant. You say you are educated, I say you are not. Take or leave it, just like you can do with believing in anything. It's called free will. You have yours so let others have theirs and leave us alone.

Pope John Paul was buried in a plain wooden casket. I am sure they are not going to take his body out and prop it up, he will lie sort of in state like our presidents did.

How do you make a dead guy a saint? I have no idea what this means, does or why the corpse is needed. If the corpse stood up, that'd be a miracle but anything less than that is just really creepy behavior by the living. When a dead president gets his name on a building, they don't dig out his coffin to be at the ceremony. It's probably the strangest of some very strange religouse rituals.

He was a great man.

Pope John Paul 2, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are who won the cold war. May we be blessed again with such people in this world.
He didn't handle the sexual abuse of children by priests in a saintly way.

Quote:
Allegations that the late pontiff blocked an inquiry into a paedophile cardinal, promoted senior church figures despite accusations that they had molested boys and covered up innumerable cases of abuse during his 26-year papacy have cast a cloud over his path to sainthood.

The most serious claims related to Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer, an Austrian friend of John Paul’s who abused an estimated 2,000 boys over decades but never faced any sanction from Rome.

I think people who dig up dead bodies of people, call these dead bodies saints even though, when alive, they intentionally overlooked sexual abuse of children, have too much free time!

Will people be looking at his rotting corpse?

www.ewtn.com Go here to read about it the whole thing.

Pope John Paul ordered all American bishops to come to Rome for a conference on the sexual abuse issue. The mental health experts told the church leaders pedophilia was curable. Why aren't those so called experts being raked over the coals?

You can call me whatever you want, I could care less about that. Presidents lie in state before they are laid to rest and they're never pulled out of their hole, crypt of cremetorium. It's a dead body. It has nothing to offer. It's just a weird, creepy cult ritual that you're free to enjoy. If this was some rural family pulling out their long since dead relative, people would be appalled but under the cover of religion, any ole foolishness is accepted.

Some Pope's corpses never rot---why? Scientists are studying it. Why not get educated about it?
