Vatican City – In 2005, a few hours after the death of Pope Wojtyla, in a Via della Conciliazione so full of people in prayer that it was impossible to cross, a huge sign appeared: “Santo Subito”. From that message, a cross-cutting and hammering campaign began immediately on the part of various sectors of the Church to accelerate the process towards the sanctity of the Polish Pope, although some cardinals immediately showed some perplexity, not so much because of the caliber of the pontiff, but by the norms until that moment in force that demanded longer, thoughtful and prudent times while waiting to focus on the entire pontificate.
Spoleto, denounced the thief of the relic of Pope John Paul II stolen from the Cathedral. The sacred object was not found
Pedophilia in the Vatican, the Pope apologizes to the victims of McCarrick: “Punished late because the controls did not work” “
Things were not like that, because the sign that indicated “Santo Subito” was actually anticipatory and so in the space of ten years, from death to canonization, the longest pontificate after Pius IX passed into history. Now, in several sectors, with the suspicion of cover-ups of terrible cases of pedophilia, there are those who wonder if that poster was inappropriate. In the United States, the influential National Catholic Reporter newspaper urged bishops to “suppress the cult” of the late Pope. Likewise, the New York Times also asked the same question. Wasn’t he made holy too soon?
«It is time to face difficulties. This man undermined the testimony of the world Church, destroyed its credibility as an institution, and set a deplorable example to bishops by ignoring reports of abuse victims, ”says the National Catholic Reporter.
In recent days, the terrible McCarrick Report has been published, from which a devastating cross-section emerges about a system that was not working in internal supervision. Among the pages of the study it is understood that John Paul in fact denied McCarrick’s involvement in the abuses, probably influenced by his experience in communist Poland, when the secret services continued to produce false files on the clergy in order to discredit him.
Wojtyla would also have had the same skepticism with Father Maciel Marcial Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, a pedophile, corrupter and full-fledged morphine addict. A real bully. Even in that case, Wojtyla would have turned his head the other way, even if his secretary, Cardinal Dziwisz, recently explained that he never received any such news, otherwise he would have acted immediately.
“The problems that have arisen from the Pope’s treatment of McCarrick show that it was a mistake to have been too hasty in canonizing him,” said Father Tom Reese, a Jesuit and American columnist. “I am against canonizing popes because it is often more a matter of Church policy than of holiness. The saints should be role models.
When Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, he began his canonization just a few weeks after his death, burning down time and throwing away the prudential rules that had always been respected up to that point.
The New York Times writes: “Today, after more than a decade of doubts, the reputation of John Paul II has fallen. After the Vatican itself hastened to canonize him, this week it published the Mc Carrick report that places his responsibility for the advancement of the cardinal’s career at the feet of the saint.
Mc Carrick was punished and defeated only in 2018 by Pope Francis on charges of sexual abuse, particularly of minors. Not only. The Report “provides overwhelming evidence that the Church has moved with reckless speed to canonize John Paul and is now trapped in its own rubble.”
