BriFili Stating: Beatification of the Venerable Pope John Paul II

The news that Pope John Paul II will most likely be beatified later this year comes at an exciting time for Catholics. With the Pope's visit to the UK only a few months ago, the Ordinariate and Pope Benedict XVI making history on Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day' this comes as excellent news.

(EDIT: I actually made a drawing of this photo during my preparation for Confirmation. The then priest left and I've been told it should still be somewhere in the church/presbytery. I hope to see it again one day.)

I am Catholic, but my views do not reflect those of the Catholic Church - unless of course references are properly noted as so. The same goes for the University of St Andrews and anyone I currently work for.

A lot of what is written on this blog should be taken with a pinch of salt. You see, I suffer from a terrible disorder called dry humour. It's quite common amongst Britons and is a deceptive ailment whereby the sufferer is perceived as being serious, when in fact the total opposite is true. Awful thing.
