I believe he should be canonized.

Canonized, what the heck is that man.

Canonized: To declare (a deceased person) to be a saint and entitled to be fully honored as such.

Well, May he rest in peace. I may sound sick here, but I am happy for him that he has died. He has been in a terrible condidtion in the last little while, and you can only assume he was suffering.

Oddly the strangest image just popped into my mind. I pictured the Pope grooving and partying up in Heaven. You know he's gotta be having a blast. ^__^

Actually, if you check the time of death, when you posted this he was not dead.

I edited the post later because nobody else had replied and to make another post would be double posting.

People can't be canonized just because they're well-liked, they have to have performed "verifiable" "miracles".

True. Five years also must pass before "miracles" can be shown. I think there has to be at least two.

Isn't it tradition to die a gruesome death to become a saint?

Not necessarily, they're in the process of canonizing Mother Teresa and she died a peaceful death.

I do think that there is a requirement that a certain amount of miracles be arttributed to them during their lifetime. Then they need a certain amount of miracles after they died before they can enter the process. And from what I hear, the process of being made a saint is quite extensive.

gruesome deaths are usually for maryrs, who then become saints.

also to become a saint you need approval from everyone. they're also cannonizing another pope whose name i forgot. from the 20th century.
