Vatican canonizes un-Catholic popes

[Paul]

Obviously I would not agree with the premise that Canonization is merely "they're in heaven", but the logic is consistent so :  :thumb:

:)

I don't see how it can be anything else, unless canonisation can be in error, which is your position. If it can, then we can say the Church got a few wrong. But with the change in procedures and the rush to canonisation, unlike the old procedure where anything the least bit heretical-sounding put a stop to the process, heroic virtue doesn't seem to be part of it anymore.

Although I suppose if heroic virtue is what the last few Popes have exercised, any of us can do it. Of course, that's the danger with these canonisations - or, rather, I suppose, their intent, to canonise the ecumenism and everything else brought in since the Council.
