He shall be called...

[Luthien]

This man, has done so much for this world. Hes done so much more than be just a religious figure. He has been a standard of moral principle.

He played a huge part in ending communism. Hes been steady in his position on the culture of life. Man, Im so grateful to have been born when he is pope. Im sure he's done so much more than I have mentioned, but I just cant think of it right now.

All I know is, that I will call him JP the Great from now on. Or Papa. :wub:

The children of this generation are truly blessed to have been born under this pontificate. We are seeds in the springtime of the Church and the Holy Father has sown us well. Not one of us is separate from the garden; not one of us identifies ourselves without reference to the others. We have one Church, one faith, and one baptism, one confession, one contemplation, one life. We are the children of John Paul the Great, followers of Christ, the spiritual soldiers of the modern age, the seeds of the new springtime, the fertilizer of future growth, and the blood of coming persecution. We look to our caretaker, who has gathered us together to present us to Christ. He must pass before we can, so that he may be with Christ to present us. He has done well for us, and speaking for the world's youth, Johannes Paule Magne, te amamus!

Not only that, but I am positive that in time, he will also be given the title of Doctor of the Church. His [i]Theology of the Body[/i] alone is enough to merit that title, and that is most certainly not the extent of what he has done.

Aw, that was truly beautiful! God be with our Papa!! :hearts:

And if he's not within ten years, I say we bombard his succesor with very obedient, very reverant emails.

Pope Saint John Paul II, Bill O'Reilly said it last night.

Ahem...Pope St. John Paul the Great

right on!

[conservativecatholic]

It was so great last night. When the O'Reilly Factor started, Bill's opening statement was "I am a Roman Catholic!"

[Ash Wednesday]

True that! He could TOTALLY be a Doctor of the Church!!!

Amen, too. His teaching in this area is underappreciated.

[theculturewarrior]

I disagree.

I think he will be called Pope [b]Saint[/b] John Paul the Great.

[Ash Wednesday]

Oh, and I was talking about the pope, not Bill O, being Doctor of the Church.

[Catholictothecore]

haha! :leave:
