No offence but only a pole could write so positively about JPII so I just knew it.
Was Baldwin IV of Jerusalem a Saint?

Kissing a Koran is idolatry and one of the worst sins possible. As well as allowing the abomination at assisi
However he died wearing the scapular so we know he's a saint

I think his desire to see the good even in outsiders is more the result of WW1 and 2. That's another bad effect of that war. It also created the EU, UN, etc., etc.. All kinds of people compromising too much… but at the same time, I partly understand the motivation because WW1 and WW2 were absolute horror/hell on earth.
I still struggle trying to understand and balance this.. and where you draw the line.

Weird.. I had to do a captcha on the 2nd post. I'm the same user fyi.. just in case it matters.

I mean, my family is polish, and my grandparents did adore the man, but I only recently converted back to Catholicism, so I doesn't really play a part in my opinion of him. Also, I was never really super in touch with my polish identity. It was just a really funny coincidence.
I just legitimately think he was a pope legitimately worthy of sainthood. I even met a fair amount of trads that agree, so there has to be some universal appeal to the guy. That's part of why Benedict and Francis fall short for a lot of people on one side of the isle or the other.
Also, as was previously said, his works related to Mary are fantastic.

Alright Polski bro I see where you're coming from (Hungarian here so great to see you brother).
And yes I had the same experience, many tradcats adore John Paul II except for his fumbling around with the Qur'an relatively few things can be labeled against him, I'm no Roman Catholic so I have no right to judge whether he is worthy of Sainthood in the RCC or not but he does have one of the cleaner better records of recent Popes for sure.

Even the saints have sinned at one point or another…
Especially given that he's polish. They got hit very hard between being the first country Hitler invaded, Auschwitz, the Kirchenkampf, etc. It's no coincidence a lot of martyrs of WWII are Poles.
