Post by: ServusSpiritusSancti on May 03, 2011, 08:52:52 PM: No, nor will I say Venerable. Anytime you see/hear a person refer to JPII as "Blessed" or "Venerable" rest assured that he or she is a modernist.

I'm inclined to agree with you. But what about this writer:

Ok well, I guess I should have said "with a few exceptions". My mistake. I forgot to add that some Trads or semi-Trads (such as the FSSP) do in fact refer to him as "Blessed". I think it's refering to him as "Venerable" that reveals the person is a modernist.

Post by: Hobbledehoy on May 06, 2011, 08:58:43 PM: Uh... I don't think so. I rather tell people to make reparation for the great harm he has caused.

(I voted in the poll: thanks for creating that, by the way).

Yes.

Why?

Because the Church, thought the Vicar of Christ, has beatified him.

Yes.

Why?

Because he stood before his adoring crowds arms raised in the air cheering on the crowds who cheered him on :applause: and because he gives us that warm fuzzy feeling!

:rahrah:

Post by: Sigismund on May 08, 2011, 10:15:03 PM: Actually, he rarely gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, but then I am not particularly inclined to warm fuzzy feelings except where my grandchildren are involved.

I didn't say I would have beatified him if I were pope. I wouldn't have. But I am not the pope. The man who is did beatifying him, and it is done now. Refusing to call him "Blessed" won't change that.

Post by: ServusSpiritusSancti on May 09, 2011, 09:35:16 AM: Just because he's Beatified doesn't mean we must call him Blessed. I refuse to call him Blessed even if he's canonized.
