Deletion

[edit]

This article is exactly the same as what is in the article about the person himself. I would put the deletion template up if I knew how. Spartan S58 (talk) 14:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not exactly the same. This article is a lot longer and contains more information and references than the corresponding section in the main Pope John Paul II article (which is supposed to be a summary of this page)
This daughter page was created, because the main article, Pope John Paul II, was getting very long.
The idea was to add any extra information to this page (in full) and keep a summary of this page in the corresponding section of the main article, keeping it short.

I'm in agreement with Marek69. Keep it. User:doctorwho295 —Preceding undated comment added 19:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
could we at least delete the section about the DVD? It's completely irrelevant to the canonisation process 123.243.174.95 (talk) 13:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about the Film and Museum sections. They don't mention his beatification or canonisation at all - I'll be bold andremove them. Hchc2009 (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also like to delete the section on titles. It has nothing directly to do with the beatification process and the titles are common to any modern day pope. Contaldo80 (talk) 21:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bad, Unsourced Polemics

[edit]

The following is wholly out of place with the rest of the article.

"Also, the Pope has been especially criticized (more than perhaps any other issue, including the bans on birth control and on women priests) for not recognizing the full severity of the sexual abuse crises until they erupted in America in 2002. This is related to the criticism he has faced because of the fact that he was Pope for many of the years that diocesan bishops- who all answered to him despite the fact that they are the heads of their regional churches- allowed those pedophile priest molesters to be transferred from parish to parish. The late Pope took a good degree of heat for not recognizing the dual life of the late Father Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder and then-head of the Legionairies of Christ, who had abused seminarians, among his other misdeeds. His successor, Pope Benedict XVI, is having to deal with these issues and much remains to be done."

There's a complete disjoint in this paragraph, listing rambling, unsourced charges against John Paul the Great; does the sexual abuse crisis really affect the beatification bid, or is this wishful thinking from those who dislike his stance on abortion and sexuality?

I'd do it myself, but I don't have a Wikipedia login and don't care to create one for just one edit. That would look suspicious and would likely result in the changes getting undone. 67.181.184.247 (talk) 05:46, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We do have a whole article on Criticism of Pope John Paul II, with sources. It seems like it would be a good idea to summarize some of that material here, at least insofar as the sources explicitly comment on his canonization prospects. For example, here is a Newsweek article that explicitly discussion criticism of JP-II's rapid beatification in light of the emerging sexual-abuse scandals. I agree that the current one-paragraph summary in the article is inadequate, however, and is especially lacking citations. — Steven G. Johnson (talk) 06:24, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism of Beatification

[edit]

I notice that this follwing section was 'Blanked' fromt he main article I think it should still be there - though it could clearly do with tidying up and more references I am aware it is very likely to upset supporters of the beatification - but I think we need to bear in mind that the article is meant to be from a neutral point of view.

Criticism of Beatification

[edit]

There has been criticism of the rapid beatification in light of the sexual abuse scandals[1] The Pope has been criticized (more than perhaps any other issue) for not recognizing the full severity of the Catholic sex abuse cases until they erupted in America in 2002. He has also been criticized for not recognizing the dual life of the late Father Marcial Maciel Degollado, and for allowing diocesan bishops to transfer pedophile priests from one parish to another instead of reporting their crimes to the authorities.

Two words: WP:BEBOLD! Though there is an article dedicated to the criticism of the pope, the news sources I've been reading have been mentioning criticism of the beatification itself due to the scandals. - Yk (talk | contrib) 14:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks Yk being bold coming up.EdwardLane (talk) 10:01, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I just created an article describing Sister Marie Simon-Pierre and I've copied a bunch of text from this article. I think this article would be improved if I trimmed out most of that. I'm going to be bold and do it.EdwardLane (talk) 12:10, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some misrepresentation of Catholic teaching in the "criticism" section

[edit]

The criticism section talks of "the Catholic Church who enjoin Christians to use all medical means to prolong life." However, this is not accurate. There is a distinction made between "ordinary" and "exstraordinary" means. In the October 2005 issue of This Rock, Fr. Frank Pavone explains that "Ordinary means include any treatment or procedure that provides some benefit to the patient without excessive burden or hardship. Ordinary means must always be used.... Extraordinary means are optional... The distinction here is not between "artificial" and "natural." Many artificial treatments are ordinary means in the moral sense, so long as they provide some benefit without excessive burden." I think it's unfair to say he may have violated Catholic Church teaching based on a misrepresentation of Church teaching. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.239.9 (talk) 00:47, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Time magazine reported that "Catholics are enjoined to pursue all means to prolong life." [[1]] - and perhaps Time Magazine has misrepresented the Church teaching - but if you think that's the case, please add a line explaining that into the criticism section, and cite references. I can't say I know much about the euthanasia policy of the Catholic church, but I think Time magazine suggests that the Pope was complicit in chosing not to have a feeding tube inserted for several days, which it seems to me might have reasonably prolonged his life (indeed from that article '"The administration of food and water even by artificial means is, in principle, an ordinary means of preserving life," said the Vatican ruling') EdwardLane (talk) 11:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prospect of canonisation

[edit]

This article is presently titled "Beatification and canonisation of Pope John Paul II", but it is only really concerned with his beatification. There is no indication of when and if he might later be canonised. What is the timetable? What are the necessary steps of the procedure which either have or are yet to be fulfilled? This information should be added, or the article renamed. Credulity (talk) 08:40, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Between WP:NOTCRYSTAL and the fact that the current article has no information about future canonization, the title should be changed. — MrDolomite • Talk 14:24, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
