Didacus Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 [quote name='aalpha1989' post='1206680' date='Mar 1 2007, 11:42 PM']This wasn't JPII.... This was JPI. slight difference. . JPI was terrified of being pope and really didnt want it....at the last vote the night before he was elected it became apparent that he would win the next day and he stayed up in adoration all night crying and asking God for strength.....[/quote] Didn't he at a certain point claim that Karol W. should have been elected in his place instead?

SJP Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 "The examination of conscience is one of the most decisive moments in a person's life. It places each individual before the truth of his or her own life. Thus, we discover the distance that separates our deeds from the ideal that we had set for ourselves."

Resurrexi Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) "Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful." ~Ordinatio Sacerdotalis Edited May 19, 2007 by StThomasMore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartjesus3 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 "It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal." -Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day, Rome 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
