The current head of the Catholic Organization, Joseph Alois Ratzinger (Benedict XVI), on May 1 led the beatification Karol Józef Wojtyla (John Paul II). To get to Santo
before there is nothing to be named Blessed, the third step in the race for the canonization. To be necessary that the head of the Organization, the Pope, to appoint the candidate through the process required by statute, the beatification. Ie that the term also Blessed is often used to label people in the highest grade amateur religious celebrations.
Among the different opinions on such an appointment is interesting to note that the unrest caused by the announcement struck a chord within the organization, particularly members of certain circles. The reason is simple, if we review the work history of John Paul II head of the organization easily spot decisions or positions taken somewhat questionable since the figure of a saint. Some of the features highlighted Wojtyla was his tight control and strict moral order, from the doctrine of the Catholic Organization of course, it established during its mandate, and mandate it is no exaggeration because it played like a dictator at times almost that directly drove the organization theologians disagree with their ideas. Recall that an important detail, the Catholic Organization is pyramidal in structure, the orders and directives rather never go down and must be obeyed by its members. The Vatican is a state so different a pseudo dictatorship since it has no parliament.
We can not ignore the attitude and position taken by Pope John Paul II to cases of pedophilia starring members of his organization, particularly the favorable treatment and condescension that had to with Marcial Maciel, the head of the Legionaries of Christ and by the way, unconditionally supported by his then right arm, Ratzinger (Benedict XVI).
If members of the Organization itself Catholic feel sick for the beatification of John Paul II, nothing strange is that the infidels and heretics at least question the altar lead to a person who made clear his position on several aspects related to the violation of human rights and even literally unspeakable crimes such as pedophilia.
is true, and I must say that when they placed John Paul II in front organization gave him a 180 º, particularly washing the image very spoiled by the Catholic Organization and accomplishing something very important for any religious organization win new adherents to the cause. Implemented a marketing move well structured and aimed directly at young people, okay, like what makes McDonalds, customer loyalty at an early age is a good strategy, certainly nothing mystical.
In recent times the clouds darken Vatican to brightness and clear, action is needed quickly and without hesitation to stay afloat, a beatification is perfect for such needs. The large number of documents that came to light in recent decades concerning the outrages of the Catholic Organization and some doctrinal positions led to the rejection of many sectors of Western societies. Ratzinger is considered a true strategist and not just within the corridors of the headquarters of the organization, from a secondary position and for years advised and worked closely with John Paul II, so in addition to using the figure to give it a wash image to the organization shown as a grateful son. Kill two birds with one stone.
Certainly the Vatican recalled old times with the event of the beatification of John Paul II.
diplomatic representations in different countries, over ninety, and various royal houses of Europe were present, which shows that the Vatican's diplomatic ties gradually begin to be reconstructed as once he had managed to make John Paul II. Among them is the presence of genocidal dictator of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, condemned by the European Union and not allowed within the continent. No comments.
not become the head of the Catholic Organization for accident and would have to assess whether the beatification is to recognize the merits and virtues for services for twenty-seven years by John Paul II or other marketing move which we are accustomed.
Do you agree with the beatification of John Paul II?
