After death, it would take decades to centuries for clergyman to ascend into being a saint. In the case of the late Pope John Paul II, this may not be the case. Officials of the Vatican are now tasked with scouring through all sorts of boxes containing content in regards to Pope John Paul II.
They are trying to find the answer to a question: Is he a saint? Pope John Paul II in the history of Catholicism has become the most popular Pope let alone religious figure in both the 20th and 21st century.
Many believe that Pope John Paul II should be given sainthood. But, there is opposition in regards to sex abuse in the American Catholic clergy. That has been a major issue during the first visit to the United States by current Pope Benedict XVI. But, there are more arguments in the late Pope’s favor.
This issue could get interesting. While there are many that feel Pope John Paul II should be given sainthood, there are many in the world that opposes it.
