John Paul

Why should Pope John Paul II be a saint?

What are the good things that Pope John Paul II has done?
Please add links and examples.
Only information about why he should be a saint. Not why he shouldn’t. By the way, Pope John Paul II did many extraordinary things that other Pope’s didn’tdo which doesn’t make other Pope’s bad but ordinary.

You question assumes that Pope John Paul II SHOULD be a saint. I don’t think he should. While he has done some wonderful things – popes are supposed to do wonderful things – that is why they are chosen to be popes.

Pope John Paul II $3.95 Pope John Paul II is one of the pivotal figures of this century, the spiritual head of more than one billion believers and a world statesman of immense stature and influence.

Legacy of John Paul II $26.95 I consider it my essential and personal mission not so much to produce many new documents but to see to it that [John Paul II’s] documents are assimilated, because they are a very rich treasure, the authentic interpretation of Vatican II – Pope Benedict XVI. Contributors include:   Edward Stourton Brendan Leahy John McDade S.J. Philip Endean S.J. David Jones Archbishop Kevin McDonald Bishop Christopher Hill Jared Wicks S.J. Christian Troll S.J. Simonetta Calderini Margaret Shepherd N.D.S. Christian W. Troll SJ   The Legacy of John Paul II responds to that challenge in helping readers and students to come to grips with the important themes in John Paul II’s theology. This is important as his influence is already as great as that of almost any other Pope and his teachings and writings need to be studied carefully by Christians of all denominations.   John Paul II’s writings were as prolific as his canonisations were vigorous. They range from topics as important as ethics, politics, theology and comparative religion. He published a number of philosophical books before becoming Pope. All of this is covered in this indispensable book.

John Paul The Great $19.95 A distinguished list of Catholic writers present their unique insights on the extraordinary achievements of the 25 years of Pope John Paul II’s pontificate. This prestigious group of writers make a strong case that this has not been merely an exceptional pontificate but one of the few epoch-making pontificates in Christian history. The nine writers include Aidan Nichols, O.P., John Saward, Tracey Rowland, Rodger Charles, S.J., Agneta Sutton, Ian Ker, Brendan Leahy, Leonie Caldecott and William Oddie. This book establishes clearly that Pope John Paul II is not only an historical figure whose actions and personal qualities have effected one of the great turning points in human affairs, but he is also one of those rare beings who possesses the vision and intensity of focus that compel the authors to say not only that he is an exceptional pope, but something much more: that here, truly, is Joannes Paulus Magnus: John Paul the Great. Far from being a reactionary, this has been a pope of startling originality and intellectual range, who has both led and inaugurated change as well as defended the tradition of the church. Besides his originality and his personal charisma, John Paul II has been a leader with great courage. “Be not afraid” were his first words in his inaugural sermon as pope, and that has been the watchword for his papacy. In both his younger, incredibly energetic years, or his older, more frail and suffering years, his personal courage shines out. A leader with an indomitable spirit, John Paul II has been a great warrior.

Meet John Paul II $10.39 “Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization and development. Do not be afraid!” —Pope John Paul II, from Chapter Four By the time Pope John Paul II first spoke the words that became a hallmark of his papacy-”Do not be afraid!”-he had long since learned the secret to fearlessness: absolute trust in God. He had every reason to fear, or at least to be depressed. While still a young man, he endured the death of his entire family, the daily horrors of World War II in his native Poland, and the ensuing communist regime when the Soviet Union absorbed Poland after the war. As The People’s Pope makes clear, the gospel truths that sustained this hero of the faith are available to you, too. The book invites you to consider the facts of this man’s life-his impact on the world, his papacy that changed the face of the Catholic Church, his courage in handling crushing adversity—and to see there the hand of God. As you meet John Paul II, you will discover that although his influence was universal, his message was personal: Open wide the doors of your heart to Christ. You will find there, as he did, the strength to live confidently for God.
