CITY 'OF THE VATICAN - Six years after his death on April 2, 2005, Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II will be beatified on May 1 this year. Benedict XVI has in fact departed from the canonical norms which provide for five years after the death expect to open the canonical process of beatification. The conclusion in 2011 of the beatification process for John Paul II indicates that there was a lot of work, addressing an immense mass of documents and listening to many witnesses, to analyze a reign of almost 27 years and the life of a character that has marked the history of the Church and not only of the twentieth century.The announcement of the beatification of Pope Wojtyla was made with the promulgation of the decree that a miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul II. The director of the Vatican press office, Father Federico Lombardi, had then announced that the rite of beatification will take place May 1, the Sunday after Easter, that is, the first after Easter, in which the same Karol Wojtyla has established the Feast of Divine Mercy.
In 2005, May 2, the Pope's death came on the eve of this feast, even when he was a liturgy begins with the first vespers. "It 's important to note that the reason for the choice - Lombardi said - this coincidence is related to the liturgy." In 2005, May 13, just weeks after his election, Ratzinger had been right, at the Cathedral of St.
John, before the Roman clergy to preach in Latin, of its decision to allow the immediate opening of the canonical cause for John Paul II. The Polish pope had waived for the first time this rule, allowing for the immediate start of the canonical process for Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who died in 1997 and was beatified in 2003.
