I think JPII will be declared "Doctor of the Church" and maybe in our lifetime. This Pontiff has written more on the holiness of sexuality than any of the previous writings of 15 hundred years or more. He has left some fantastic work. His Theology of the Body will be used as text book material for the next hundred years. We have not even begun to delve deeply into the meaning of this tome. At many levels it is magnificent. Apart from this his encyclicals are pure joy. So Gareth I believe that JPII will be declared Doctor of the Church just as surely as sainthood. I have heard him speak really close up and his voice was captivating. He exuded a feeling of peace so deep. As I stood about 4 metres from him all I wanted to do was weep and thats all I could do and I dont know why. <br>I do the same at Marian processions (eg Fatima & Lourdes, I cried so much it was embarassing) and Eucharistic processions. I dont know why I cry and cry but its something from deep within.<br>JPII Doctor of the Church? absolutely.<br>AnneAnnehttp://victimsofabortion.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
