In all of the V2 changes, the canonization process is small potatoes. The bigger issues are the new mass, new catechism, new breviary, new code of canon law, and all the heretical books/encyclicals. These have destroyed the Faith in most catholics.
.
At least the new canonizations are getting people (who still care) to pray to "saints". They do more for promoting prayer than any new mass.
Oh, I disagree. By creating the impression that Paul VI and John Paul II are saints, isn't that a practically-solemn endorsement of all this wreckage created by Vatican II? JP2 was the greatest promoter of religious indifferentism every to occupy the papal office, and because people revered him in his life and now as endorsed by the canonization, that's all the more reason for people to think: "ha, when John Paul II kissed the Koran and held Assisi, well, those were pleasing to God as coming from a Great saint." Very few people have read Vatican II or have any clue about what it taught, and are more influenced by the concrete acts of JP2 praying to false gods.
That's another reason the infiltrator Wojtyla pretended to keep a strong line on Catholic morals. By talking big (although doing nothing) about abortion, and issues like female priests, and various questions around bio-ethics, Wojtyla tried to give the impression of being an arch-conservative, whereas his religious indifferentism was a heretical abomination. As a consummate actor, he closed his eyes and bowed his head as if in deep contemplation, showed public reverence to Our Lady and was occasionally seen walking around with a Rosary, feigning reverence for the Blessed Sacraments while allowing baskets of consecrated hosts to be trampled upon at Catholic Woodstock festivals. Well played, Karol. Similarly, Ratzinger, Mr. Suite-and-Tie Modernist at Vatican II, best buddies with the Kungs and Rahners of the world, tried to play Traditionalist by offering the NOM in Latin and giving speeches in Latin and issuing the Motu. His mission as infiltrator was to suck the remaining Traditionalists into the Conciliar establishment ... which he nearly did except for Bishop Williamson's comments about the h0Ɩ0cαųst. After he failed in that mission, he was told to step aside and be replaced by Bergoglio ... as they decided to just go for broke.
