Your citation is irrelevant to the issue I raise. If a process is rigged, pretending to be above board when it's not, it's dishonest. No pious citation from Scripture changes this. Truth is truth.

The text is perfectly relevant. You either believe in the Church as institution founded by Our Lord on the foundation of the Apostles or you don’t. We call it "cafeteria" religiosity when one picks and chooses different things to their own liking.

According to the Catholic faith, Pope John Paul II has exactly the same ecclesiastical authority as Popes St. Pius X, St. Peter the Apostle, and all other Popes in history. Criticizing the Pope is the same as criticizing Christ - Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me - Lk 10:16.

If you ever decide to become a Catholic they will enroll you in RCIA classes and explain it to you.

You are charging the Pope with establishing a "rigged" process so as to unworthily Canonise a man.

Your hatred of the Pope is sickening and your habit of imputing evil motives to the actions of the Vicar of Christ is vile, poisonous, and putrid.
