Pope John Paul II Forgave a man who tried to kill him.
That is love, not hypocrisy


Pope John XXIII was a man who wanted to bring Christianity out of the dark ages, something that has yet to happen in most protestant circles. While Evangelicals and Fundamentalists are doing everything in their power (which is nothing at all really) to herd humanity back into the bronze age, at leat a few, and a very few Christians out there are endeavoring to be good examples.

Too bad, the two who first come to mind are the two listed above....both dead.

The Church doesn't make saints, God does. The Church has to have the proof of miracles that happened by praying to a person who has died. St. John Paul healed a young boy who had stopped breathing and he came back from the brink of death and also healed a nun of Parkinson disease.

I was referring to the hypocrisy of the RCC in canonizing two diametrically opposed Popes . . . not John Paul II.
