A John Paul II Beatification Catechism - George Weigel - National Review Online

An answer from the man who knew Pope John Paul II better than just about anyone else... his biographer, George Weigel, to those who are condemning JPII's beatification. NOTE: A beatification is NOT a declaration of 'sainthood'. It is the first step in the process that can lead to that outcome.

  1. At some point the buck must stop somewhere in any organization and in this case it should stop at the top.

    Whether or not Pope John Paul II had a hand in the cover-up either by commission or omission we'll probably never know, but imagine the powerful message it would send the world about how seriously the Church now treats this cover-up scandal if it did not canonize the previous pope over this failure during his watch. It would go a long way, albeit only symbolically, to show the world that the Church is now treating this black mark on its history seriously.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
