Pope Pius XII
« on: June 04, 2018, 01:25:19 PM »
Anyone else wondering why this great pope is not a saint?

I remember reading a story that padre pio was celebrating mass one day and saw him in heaven - how beautiful

Please join me in a novena for him to be recognised by the church as a saint

O Venerable Pope Pius XII, who had on earth great courage to preach the word of God, vigor to repel the enemies of the Church, and zeal for the Holy Name, pray for us poor sinners. May we, O Pius, have a double portion of thy righteous qualities in defense of our holy Church. May we never abandon our duty to defend the faith, with fortitude, wherever we are and in whatever state God hath put us. Venerable Pius, may we, like thee, show the radiant glory of our Holy Lord in everything we do and say. And this, through the graciousness of the Divine Majesty, to Whom we humbly ask thee to pray for our benefit and protection. 
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

He is not a saint because saint popes are rare now, since the 1300's there are only two saint popes, Pius V and Pius X. That's 700+ years.

Are you kidding?

He appointed the vast majority of the modernist bishops who later brought us Vatican II.  He opened the door for evolution.  He opened the door for Catholic birth control.  He allowed the attack on the EENS dogma.  He launched the illustrious career of one Annibale Bugnini and empowered him to mess around with the liturgy.  If there's any Pope who was THE watershed into Vatican II, it was Pius XII.  Pius XII was one of the weakest popes in the history of popes.

Are you forgetting about St. John Paul II the Great?
