You know how everyone is mad that Shakespeare really is that good? JPII's Theology of the Body is actually thst good. The same problem is that his imitators and interpreters are so far outside of his ballpark that they aren't in his same city.

Saint John Paul II, known as John Paul the Great, was born Karol Wojtyla in Poland and had an active happy youth. Yet before his 21st birthday, his whole family had died. He studied for the priesthood in secret during the Nazis and then Communism control of Poland. He was secretly ordained in 1946. For the next 20 years, he was a pastor, a professor, and a student himself. In 1978 Karol Wojtyla became the first non-Italian Pope of the Catholic Church. He traveled to over 100 countries, was a prolific writer, and was loved by youth worldwide. He survived an assassination attempt in 1981 and even forgave the assassin. Pope John Paul died of Parkinson’s disease and was the second longest reigning Pope.

“…alienation — and the loss of the authentic meaning of life — is a reality in Western societies too. This happens in consumerism, when people are ensnared in a web of false and superficial gratifications rather than being helped to experience their personhood in an authentic and concrete way.”

JPII Centesimus Annus

[journey2carmel]

In the sacred depths of contemplative silence, we behold the mystical continuity of Holy Mother Church, as once the elder shepherd in this image extended his hands in blessing, so too does the mantle of St. Peter now rest upon our Holy Father Leo XIV, called forth from the shadows like Elijah to bear the prophetic flame in these latter days. Laudetur Jesus Christus!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
