Of Course!
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!
