John Paul II matters

| | Comments (0)
In the hours before and after the Holy See's announcement that the famous Pope John Paul II would be beatified on May1st, lists of reasons John Paul matters have shown up. Dan Gilgoff of the Belief Blog at CNN has a list that in my mind is too thin to get excited about. Numbers 1 and 9 on his list, for example, bear neither weight nor content. There's Rome Reports' review of John Paul's astonishing record and how he changed history. John Allen's analysis is worthy of our consideration because of the context Allen frames for us.

And there's Carl Anderson's remarks on the hope this beatification brings to us and yet Francis X. Rocca at the Religion News asks an interesting, provocative question about rushing the sainthood cause of John Paul.

The constellations of perspective is certainly interesting.
