Pope John Paul's blood to go on display at Vatican

www.guardian.co.uk

A phial filled with the blood of the late pope John Paul II will go on display at his beatification on Sunday and become available for veneration by the faithful.

The Vatican said the blood, which had been stored in a Rome hospital, had been kept in a liquid state by an anti-coagulant that was added when it was taken from him.

I would like to know the real reason why. I think it is another attempt at the subliminal brainwashing Jesus Christ bashing that has been going on by the Catholic church for the entirety of its existence.

"For this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." -Matthew 26:28

Yeah the Catholic Church is evil to the core. We know it and so does Jesus. This is just plain sick that they are going to anoint his blood, what next? Are they going to perform some satanic ritual with it next? I am a born and raised God loving Christian but this is just over the top. God must be just about done with this Church of Catholics.

They can bathe in his blood for all I care. The guy is dead, doubt he cares.

Perhaps it's the "abomination of desolation" we've heard tell of? Disturbing stuff.

Who cares? I really don't care! The sheeple of faithful worshipers will most surely pay for tickets to see a dead man's BLOOD! It could be anyone/anything's blood! Ugh! Gross!

Three days after this alignment as well:

And coinciding with Endeavor launch and "royal" wedding. Hmm...

Maybe he had tiger blood? With Adonis DNA?

Or it's a trick to lure in the last of the vampires!

This is the sickness of organized religion--and the Catholic Church in particular. It's become ingrown and infected by its own intellectual and spiritual dishonesty. But, hey--it has lots of money and power!

Hatred is the manifestation of ignorance - seems to be a lot of that going on here. Which is sad, especially considering that this Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday which had a great amount of significance for Pope JP2. Relics of Saints has historically been a source of Holy inspiration for believers who will understand and appreciate the beautiful meaning of this sensitive ceremony. If you can't comprehend the basic tenets of faith then please, at least try to show some respect. Thank you.

Geez, how do we know it is from JP2 anyway.
Could be blood from a mouse, rat or just any down and outer living on Rome's street, or just blood from a blood donor.
Just because a man in a white dress says it is from JP2, does not prove that it is, does it?

Does christian teaching not say that the worship of "false idols" is not the done thing?
Unfortunately, the RC church is the biggest culprit in this worship of "false idols".
Thus adherents of the RC church have a major problem here, worship officicially sanctioned false idols and you are OK in the eyes of the pope, but worship unofficial false idols and you get ex-communicated (kicked out).

They should have really just made a big picture of him. Most people won't care that it's his blood... in fact it really could be anyone's blood.

Or maybe they're close to making human clones from DNA and there's some uber insane conspiracy brewing...

Lmao. Stupid idolatrus catholics. May God have Mercy on the Vatican.

Worshiping a human being's blood? Somewhere along the line these pedophiles changed everything that Jesus taught.

Considering any Pope is never to have an autopsy - nice of them 'them' to 'bend' the rules (taking of his body) to display to the masses for more bling.

Hate the church (organization) - love the believers.

peace

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #2096 & 2097 clearly states, "Adoration is the first act of the virtue of religion. To adore God is to acknowledge him as God, as the Creator and Savior, the Lord and Master of everything that exists, as infinite and merciful Love. "You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve," says Jesus, citing Deuteronomy.
To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name. The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on himself, from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world."
Also in #2132 we read, "The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone: Religious worship is not directed to images in themselves, considered as mere things, but under their distinctive aspect as images leading us on to God incarnate. The movement toward the image does not terminate in it as image, but tends toward that whose image it is."
Hope this helps clear things up. Veneration is not worship.

Define worship. A lot of people accuse them of worshiping Mary and idols.

All the various acts and forms of authentic worship can be summed up in one simple sentence, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deut. 6:5).

Don't you doubt them.

They'll probably invite their mates from the Salvation Army too.

EDIT: This is found on every Salvation Army building here. I think the serpent coiled around the cross is supposed to mean an "S" for Salvation Army...
