[Grey Ghost II]

What a great Pope, great man (dare I say great saint?) When do you suppose the cause for him will be taken up? Soon, I think.

Statements like this completely amaze me. Have you ever heard of purgatory? When John Paul II dies, I will pray for his soul and I hope others do as well. There is nothing more important to those poor souls in Purgatory than for the faithful to be praying for their release.

Rallying around the canonization cause prior to a person even being dead is not Catholic.

Relax, if I thought the Congregation for the Causes of Saints read FR, I would never say a word (not that they would pay a particle of attention to me in any event.)

I was simply expressing my admiration for this good man in a somewhat teasing way. It's in God's hands whether he spends time in Purgatory or not . . . I will continue to pray for him and for the Poor Souls.
