ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
As a christened, confirmed and “white-married” Protestant, already
having left in my mid-twenties the Lutheran Church because of its
questionable, institutional policy, I felt that church matters were no
longer my business. However, being faced since more than two years by
the extremely unfair, respectless and fact-twisting comments about His
Holiness John Paul II and his papacy in different Australian – and UK
newspapers, I’m left angry and frustrated, wondering, why the clergy of
The Vatican and the Catholic Church’s worldwide community of billions of
believers are not standing up against such disgusting provocation of bad
gossip-journalism and questionable community behavior! It shouldn’t be
allowed, to minimize, understate or even to deny the provable
achievements of the Holy Father for his Church and the rest of the world
– independent of religion, culture or country. Against all odds, one is
for sure: Since 27 years (16.10.1978) The Catholic Church is blessed
having as its head Pope John Paul II being such a beautiful, incredible
humble human, also a highly gifted and broadly educated, respectable
personality with PHD and professor’s appointment at university, by
having taught the subject PHILOSOPHY already at the age of only 35 years
and to the same time was faced with the double burdening, busy life his
clerical duties as a bishop has forced from him since the end of the
Fifties. No doubt, The Holy Father is a genuine witness in faith, an
excellent, UNTOUCHABLE role-model, incredible in his iron
self-discipline and the hero-like management of his papacy’s daily
duties of immense work-task younger and healthier people are unable to
achieve. All the Vatican’s high ranked cardinals are very well advised;
TO SUPPORT – UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES – THE POPE IN HIS WISH, FULFILLING
HIS CLERICAL DUTIES TILL HIS VERY LAST BREATH or they have to be faced
with the poisoning critique, being non-trustworthy but power- hungry,
very worldly and therefore questionable persons not being worth, to fill
in any clergy position!!! In other words: The Pope’s aides Christian and
human duties are, to ask for the top of the worlds’ best medical
advisers in supporting and strengthening The Holy Father’s failing
health to a better! Also, it’s unethical and tasteless but sadly one of
many bad reflections of our today’s messy world with its decay of
traditional values, if already to The Pope’s lifetime the Media’s
jackal-like paparazzi-pack is wondering, who will become the next pope!
After all these fact-twisting comments of the last years it is
essential, that people have the opportunity to develop their own
precious, non-influenced mind by visiting the Vatican’s informative
Website at: http://www.vatican.va./holy_father/john_paul_ii/. It is also
essential, that the broad public knows more about the unbearable task of
duties, John Paul II is permanently faced during his papacy, reflected
in my following reprint of one weeks’ tough task only, originally edited
by J. Cornwell and described below in his own words, likewise “… a week
of executive activities sufficient to exhaust a man half his age”: “…He
has met President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Mary McAleese
of Ireland; chaired an international conference on depression; published
a statement on cultural difference; appointed a dozen bishops; lectured
members of the Polish union Solidarity; and presided over a world
congress on pastoral care for migrants and refugees. On the previous day
he had preached to visitors from Croatia; encouraged the contribution of
Christianity in the new European constitution; met the council of the
synods of bishops; beatified five candidates for sainthood; met and
spoke with a delegation from Palestine; and issued a statement to the
Pontifical Academy of the Sciences on GM crops and stem cells. In
addition, these three days included, in theory, his absorption of a
torrent of paperwork from dozens of Vatican departments that regulate
the church worldwide. In theory, he maintains daily contact with all the
national bishops in about 110 countries. Moreover, more than 3000 of
these bishops come to Rome for regular “personal meetings” with him …”
and so forth. Mr. Cornwell continues: “…an avid member of the curia, the
Vatican bureaucracy, told me that the Pope “takes the strain of all this
in a very real and personal way …” which means in clear text that the
above mentioned “theory” is, indeed, nothing than a daily practiced
tough task of duties to be performed by The Holy Father personally.
The publishing of such confirming statements are just essential, to
avoid a dangerous, false statement about The Pope’s provable, immensely
positive achievements during his whole clerical life and especially
during the inhuman hard and burdening task his papacy is demanding! One
is for sure: Not only the Catholics have a right, to be informed about
John Paul II’s positive achievements and the content of his incredible
huge workload daily to manage, but the rest of the world too. In other
words: The PR for The Vatican and its great, impressive, admirable and
well loved Pope can’t be reduced only to monthly published insider
magazines and the occasionally publishing of Vatican’s “schedules”, BUT
MUST BE PERMANENTLY SPREAD WORLDWIDE WITH ALL MODERN HIGH-TECH THE
INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IS USING!!
Human’s nature is about that some people are ungraceful and forgetful
and some aren’t. When The Holy Father was still 27 years younger,
healthier and a very good looking but respectable personality with a
great, infectious smile, people were cheering: “John Paul TWO We Love
YOU” and the Londoner newspaper “Times” had a headline which described
The Holy Father as a “SUPERSTAR”! Where are these people now? Today,
nearly three decades later, The Holy Father confirms BEING LIVING
HISTORY AT ITS BEST with many, provable achievements in CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES for a better world he has managed successfully behind the
scene in his incredible humbleness. These positive, historical valuable
achievements were done by him in his diplomatic wisdom whereby here only
a few can be mentioned, such as: A.) The fall of Communism in Russia,
B.) The strengthening of the Catholic Church in Poland, C.) The resign
of Chile’s dictator Pinochet, D.) The reconciliation of the Catholic
Church with the Greek Orthodox Church, E.) His immense efforts, to
combine Christianity, Judaism and Islam in view of more understanding
for each other by personal meetings with their countries’ religious and
political leaders, F.) The good advice, to avoid the illegal, military
invasion into Iraq by giving personal audiences to the political leaders
of those countries prepared to join into that gruesome war, hoping, he
can change their mind and so forth. (It must have been for The Holy
Father very disappointing that even his guest – and home countries’
leaders didn’t want to take his good and responsible advice contra that
illegality with the effective result of a horrendous mess, future
generations still have to pay for!) After all, today, His Holiness
deserves much more our love and admiration than ever before, because
John Paul II does not want to give up fulfilling his daily, immense
workload for all peoples’ welfare he sees as his duty managing properly,
despite age and illness! Now, even seriously ill, The Holy Father has
read, in iron self-discipline, The Mass from his hospital room for
comforting his people all over the world and with this heroic act,
again, he is confirming being doubtlessly THE positive role-model for
all of us as an impressive, responsible witness in faith! This permanent
fight of a great, unbroken spirit against age and bodily weakness does
make John Paul II to a real SUPERSTAR and a hero in each way and demands
our deepest respect! Like mentioned before, its common knowledge that
peoples’ mind is very influential by changing permanently into the one
or other direction likewise a flag – however, in case of The Holy Father
most of his people still are keeping him their loyalty what means: In
all circumstances a genetic “Alpha-Male” always has his cheering
auditorium and never, ever gives up!
Personally, I do feel very much comforted in the knowledge, that each
day His Holiness John Paul II is genuinely praying for all of us, thus
my childhood-prayers haven’t matured into adulthood. Please, send this
unique and great Pope all your greetings and best WELL WISHING and LOVE
for comforting him in his unbearable situation supposed being surrounded
by some greedy persons waiting impatiently, to fill in his position he
never should be forced to give up, if he is refusing to do so, because
Parkinson disease does not affect the intellectual property but the
motored system of muscles and nerves only! Also, this illness does not
trigger any kind of mental illnesses because they do affect another
system of chemicals and neurons in the brain-cells! One is for sure, the
last 27 years during his papacy this highly gifted, honest and wise man
has built around him a team of trustworthy top clericals being able in a
professional manner, to ease his inhuman burdening workload to a
reasonable grade. Regarding the extremely tough task of his busy papacy
which The Holy Father has managed to present in an excellent manner,
this special kind of heroism reminds on another highly gifted academic,
Professor Dr. Stephen Hawking. Being an extraordinary physicist, Mr.
Hawking has developed his genial ideas despite battered by a different,
rare muscle – and nerve disease, tied in his wheelchair since his mid
Twenties!
At last, but not least: Pope John Paul II is the living symbol having
succeeded in the most difficult task for transforming Christian
religion’s positive theoretical ideology into the performing of daily
reality’s demands.
Thank you so much for your friendly attention. Be blessed with good
people you count on most…..
