John Paul II on the other hand, while personally devout unfortunatly was also a "man of Vatican II"....and that says it all how he left the Church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-60550634229724879382008-05-29T22:33:00.000-07:002008-05-29T22:33:00.000-07:00In the past, they claimed that since the pontifica...In the past, they claimed that since the pontificate of Pius XII was long, so it took longer time to process the documents for his beatification process. But ironically, it took them less than 3 years to finish the beatification process of John Paul II who reigned much longer than Pius XII!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-75683430193353896162008-05-29T14:03:00.000-07:002008-05-29T14:03:00.000-07:00Touching comments from Fr Pius, and really right, ...Touching comments from Fr Pius, and really right, 3rd anonymous! How devastating it is that the only Popes they seem interested in are the lackluster previous one, and the possible Mason, John XXIII. Pope Pius XII as well as Cardinal Raphael Merry del Val were SO holy! Let's pray for "prompt attention to this matter" by the Vatican!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374826052990530184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-8160545873745052802008-05-28T13:16:00.000-07:002008-05-28T13:16:00.000-07:00What is the holdup (if anyone knows), to Benedict ...What is the holdup (if anyone knows), to Benedict XVI declaring Pius XII as "Venerable"....a title apparently voted for in the affirmative by the Sac. Congregation for Saints in December, and nothing has been signed off yet.<BR/>I hope that this Pope is not holding off from honoring Pope Pius XII for the sake of the bigoted comments and protests of the Jews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-90656028372712987572008-05-28T13:15:00.000-07:002008-05-28T13:15:00.000-07:00I was eleven years old when the saintly Holy Fathe...I was eleven years old when the saintly Holy Father, Pope Pius XII fell-asleep-in-the-Lord...and yet I remember it as though it were yesterday! Watching the Holy Father's funeral on TV confirmed what I had already felt for a few years before---that I wanted to serve Christ and the Church and by His grace and the inspiration of such holy men as Pope Pius XII, I did. I am a monk now for 43 years and a priest for 28. Thanks be to God and His Most Holy Mother---and the intercessions of the Most Blessed Pope Pius XII!<BR/><BR/>In His great love,<BR/>Fr.
