Its good to know that plastic saints are not altogether representative of real ones.
I wanted you take this test before I offer a quote from, and a comment about, one of my all time favourite people. A Saint really, he just happened to be human as well.
From examples I saw in the quiz some of the Saints actions were more than a little bestial before they got on the Gospel Road. So my soon to be revealed hero looks not too bad if we are rating him on the Bell Curve!
Maybe we can aspire to be a bobble head doll on someone's dashboard someday.
(Not too darned likely, but hey we
can dream can't we?)disclaimer....I personally believe John Paul II deserves to be venerated as a hero of the faith, so I am in no way am suggesting that he is unworthy of beatification and sainthood.
Go Karol Wojtyla!
