The Archbishop of Krakow Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, who during 27 years, former personal secretary of Pope John Paul II, asserted to the Polish news agency PAP, that the recent critics thrown by dissident theologians only reinforces the beatification process of Karol Wojtyla.
Referring to the campaign launched by dissident theologians against the beatification of John Paul II, Archbishop Dziwisz remarked that “this kind of manifestations only hastens the beatifications process.”
“Of the Holy Father-said the prelate-we can only say that he always defended man before false ideologies and their preachers and History vindicated him.”
“I think it’s one more opportunity to acknowledge the sanctity of John Paul II,” he added.
The former secretary of the Polish Pope later explained that there is a widespread opinion that is witnessing the names that appear on this protest against the beatification of John Paul II, “there is no reason to fear for the beatification process, because nobody serious will consider these critics.”
A e-mail address is available to send testimonies of holiness of John Paul II. The Rome Diocese Vicariate, where the case for beatification has been opened, has made available an e-mail address to which witnesses can contribute to the cause.
