Hello all.
I?m currently investigating the differences in attitudes to the canonisation (process of becoming a saint) of Pope John Paul II (PJP II) across nations, religions and age ranges. This encompasses a number of broader issues such as the merits of becoming a saint, opinions on the catholic church, the notion of popes and specifically views on PJP II.
Particular emphasis will be placed on comparison with Polish attitudes, the country of his birth where he is widely thought of as a national hero.
In order to do this a short 5 minute survey has been set up at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/NCXZKTR
Participation in this survey would be greatly appreciated. I?d just like to emphasise that the survey is for absolutely everyone - no prior knowledge of whom PJP II even was is required. Once the study is complete I hope to report back to participants with the findings.
Also, I open up the debate onto the rest of this thread. It is hoped the issues raised above will spark debate on here - please air your opinions!
FAO Moderators: I hope this is in the correct section of the forum, if not feel free to move it. Also, please don?t disregard this as ?spam?, it presents the opportunity for rich debate into many religious and spiritual issues as outlined above.
Thank you all, Isabella.
