John Paul II

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov 20, 2009 / 02:23 am (CNA).- During his visit to Argentina this week, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, Pope John Paul II’s personal secretary, said the cause for beatification of the late Pontiff is dependent upon Pope Benedict XVI.

According to the AICA news agency, Cardinal Dziwisz said, “We Polish bishops do not want to interfere (in the cause). We do not want the Pope to rush, he should analyze it properly.”

During a press conference at the offices of the Apostolic Nunciature in Argentina, the cardinal remarked that people “recognize his legacy” and they show it by the continual processions to his tomb at the Vatican or by visiting Krakow in order “to learn about how he lived and what his culture was like.”

Asked whether John Paul II worked any miracles while alive, Cardinal Dziwisz said, “We couldn’t talk about that, it was forbidden,” however the cardinal revealed that since JPII's death, “there are many things that have been recorded and documented.”

According to the cardinal, the late Pope enjoyed “escaping from the Vatican,” especially to have time outdoors. “It was not diversion for him, he needed it.  At first he would talk with those who accompanied him but later he would just remain in silence, because he said it was his chance to have an encounter with the Creator,” the cardinal said.

He also shared that the Pope “did not use a computer, but wrote with a pencil.”  When he had to think about important things, he would do so in the mountains.  “At the beginning he would go skiing to everyone’s surprise. Nobody thought a Pope would stand in line like everyone else to wait his turn to ski.  Some greeted him with suspicion, others couldn’t believe it.”

“On day a child saw recognized him and said, ‘Holy Father’.  After that he had to be more careful,” the cardinal noted.

Cardinal Dziwisz also told the story of a worker in the Italian Alps who recognized the Pope and invited him to his house “for a glass of wine.”  “My wife is very devotional,” he told the Pontiff.  “She goes to church to find the Pope and here’s the Pope in my house!” the man joked.

We need Pope John Paul's intercesion very urgently, for the unity of the church worldwide. All those people and countries from far away, who experienced his visits, will have a strong helper in Heaven. He was a prophet and he had the charisma of touching the hearts of people. His prayer was powerful, from Heaven he will help us more in the many needs we have nowadays. Please, make it possible in the Year of the Priest..., do not waste time. Thank you.

The implications Judaizers post Concilium reached their climax in the pontificate of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, arising the opposition of the sedevacantists that ignore the changes modernists trying to avoid the sub tile abrogation of the dogmas of the divinity of Christ, the divine Trinity, the New Covenant, and the and anti Semitic, and the Tridentine liturgy, which convert to the Catholic Church in a Bible school spokesman natural morality dictated by God to Noah (noaquida) to govern human animals (goyins: non-Jewish people). And the opinions expressed in the media by John Paul II that "the Jews are our elder brothers in faith" are a serious apostasy tending at abrogating the ancient doctrine of the Church, which warrants legal review of the dispute papal (opposite to the ruling of Christ [Matthew XXIII, 1 to 35] in his diatribe against the hypocritical puritanism of the priests and scribes of the Synagogue pointing as guilty of eternal punishment for the followers of the doctrine (ethos supremacists) and behavior (pathos criminal and genocidal serial) from Israel. In the light of biblical and historical serial genocides committed by the Jewish people, to determine the validity of ad quem resorted). And because it is a very serious apostasy, also merits the objection, appeal and review procedures for beatification that decide victory or defeat on Christianity VS Judaism, and the transcendence or the involution of humanity

It looks like the momentum for John Paul's beatification is building and that's great. The late Holy Father's life was nothing short of a miracle and a purely supernatural closeness to God which produced total openness to all people. He was and continues to be a BIG diffrence for an untold number of people.
