Poll says American Catholics want St. JP II
Again, what is it with these American Catholics?
First they say they think he's not "with it" and consider his beliefs "oppressive". Then they say it was sad that he has died even though they didn't agree with him. Now they want to make him a saint.
Either one of 2 things are possible:
1. Pollisters don't know how to find Catholics who actually believe in their Catechism, except for this one time. I mean the Times had a poll saying American Catholics didn't believe in the Real Prescence. How Catholic can that be?
OR
2. American Catholics just don't get it. To be a saint means to love God and to do His will. So if our beloved Pope should be made a saint, didn't he do what God wanted? And if that's true, doesn't that mean that God does not support abortion or abc and that it would be wrong to "get a pope who would change things?"
Both are equally possible. Both are equally ridiculous.
