Let me just make a little note about this in the margin. OK, "Christopher Ferrara (who?) is not happy with JPII's papacy." There.

OK.

It's right there, on the first page.

I'll see it every time I read JPII's writings or reflect on his life or indeed pray for his intercession. It will surely make me pause and think "careful now..........".

You're already past praying for John Paul's soul but now seek his intercession? Another believer in instant sainthood?

Please do so. Balance is in short supply at the moment. One has to be careful lest this clamouring for immediate sainthood becomes a regular secular event on par with the Nobel prize. The Mother Teresa case is a good example where someone is not known for their particulary Catholic virtues.
Much more of this and it all becomes a farce.
