Basilisa Marie Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) I think he'll definitely be canonized, but I don't like the fact that they waved all the waiting periods. The whole point of waiting periods is so that emotions can die down... high fervor like the kind that surrounded JPII. They need to either get rid of them all together, or apply them to everyone. :) I do think he's definitely a saint, though.

Nihil Obstat Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I would say "without a doubt", but I am ambivalent tending towards wary at the speed with which it is being conducted. I also hope that his canonization will not 'canonize by proxy' every little thing he said, wrote, and did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Also "without a doubt" in my view, though like others I too question the swiftness in which this decision has arisen. Seems way too hasty to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 well, seeing that there is supernatural proof of his heavenly intercession, I don't see why not........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree (but for probably different reasons, ha!), thought it seems like people are free to "not like" some things other saints say, so it seems like it wouldn't be an issue. At least technically speaking. I mean, sainthood just means that he lead and extraordinarily holy life, not that every word that dropped from his mouth was divinely inspired. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLordsSouljah Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Though it's kinda a different person and era, if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure St Anthony of Padua was canonized after a year. How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work? The whole process of canonization is a pretty recent thing in the history of the Church. Before it was established, most saints became recognized mostly through popular devotion. The canonization process was established to give the system some kind of structure, and the required miracles are sort of like "spiritual proof" that the person is in heaven. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A conclusion reached, by the life one lived. In theory, is it not possible a canonized Sain did not have an extraordinarily holy life, but barely made it not heaven?

If I am not mistaken, to canonize a saint is more than to guarantee that the person is in heaven, but also to hold them up as an example of heroic virtue and Christian charity.
