Ah, and the unbiblical practice of canonizing people as saints so that Catholics the world over can pray to them as the Bible commands us not to do. Another example of that is found here! I’m back to wondering what is happening to this world we live in.

Catholics have nearly completed the initial investigations into beatifying the late Pope John Paul II. Beatification is the second step in the process of formal canonization. They are invstigating three miracles that JP2 must be credited with before he can be declared a saint. To that end, Catholic News Service says

One of the miracles John Paul is being credited with is curing a French nun of Parkinson’s disease. The late pope also suffered from the disease. The nun was in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s when members of her convent prayed to John Paul to ask God for her recovery in May 2005.

Ugg! I can’t believe that people think its okay to pray to anyone but God!

Scientologists now view Tom Cruise as their Christ, citing his firey passion for evangelizing their cultic beliefs.  In fact, one of the higher-ups foresees future Scientologists worshipping Mr. Cruise.  Great.  Don’t teenage girls do enough of that now without this going on?

Okay, when I read about Gwen Shamblin and the Weigh Down/Remnant Fellowship cult, I thought that I had finally heard everything.  Now, I read Tom Cruise is the Christ of Scientology.  I also read in USA Today that in September, a gay couple had a child by surrogate mother.  What is this world coming to?

Sin, sin, sin, everywhere.  Jesus, I pray that the world comes to know You, that they will use Your Word to understand why what they do is wrong in Your eyes, and that they will lean on You to guide them and change their souls into new creations under Your care.
