CatherineM Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Maybe he'll wait until John Paul is made a saint.

CatherineM Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Res-I'd be interested to know why you think John Paul II shouldn't be canonized.

I had been thinking about having my profession that day (not realizing it was Good Friday), because I was not going to be able to have it on the anniversary of my entrance. And Good Friday was my name/title day at the monastery. kind of surreal. [quote]They are different in several ways.

[quote name='zunshynn' post='1928621' date='Jul 22 2009, 06:16 PM'][/quote] Traditionally, Eastern icons were hand-painted. One monk would take the original, and paint a copy. Then another monk would paint a copy of that copy, etc. That is why you will see many Eastern icons that are very similar to but at the same time different from other icons of the same saint or mystery.

I do not agree with fast tracking anyone's canonization. However, the phrase that I do not like which I believe shows arrogance on your part is the end: "If at all." In the above statment you made, you did not even answer Catherine's question. Why if at all?

Martyrs are ordinarily much less difficult to canonize than confessors. He died in 1539, but he was not beatified until 1895. He still is not canonized. Though I would certainly like to see him canonized, there is no evidence that his canonization is going to happen any time soon, and it may never happen at all. Edited July 22, 2009 by Resurrexi
