Immediate Sainthood for Pope John Paul II

Dear fellow friends of the Lord's flock,

"Since the death of John Paul II, a number of clergy at the Vatican, including Angelo Cardinal Sodano in the written form of his homily at the Mass of Repose, have been referring to the late pontiff as "John Paul the Great" - only the third pope to be so acclaimed, and the first since the first millennium. One Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera called him even "The Greatest". Scholars of canon law state that there is no official process for declaring a pope "Great"; the title establishes itself through popular, and continued, usage.

As his mission by virtue of his office, Pope John Paul II emphasized what he called the universal call to holiness and attempted to define the Roman Catholic Church's role in the modern world. He spoke out against communism, imperialism, materialism, Nazism, racism, oppression and unrestrained capitalism. He defended traditional Roman Catholic teachings on human life by opposing abortion, contraception, human cloning, capital punishment, euthanasia, and war. He also defended traditional Roman Catholic teachings on marriage by opposing divorce and same-sex marriage."

I hope that you will agree with this petition, and that the Holy See and his Successor would recognize his life as "holy" and that they may beatify and canonize him into Sainthood.

Thank you, and may the God almighty bless us all.
