Liturgical Memorial Established For John XXIII.
and John Paul II

(Rome) The Holy See has established the liturgical observances for the popes canonized by Francis in late April. The feast of John XXIII. will be celebrated in the New Rite on 11 October, that of John Paul II. on 22 October. The Osservatore Romano has published the Decree by the Congregation for Divine Worship in today's issue with the relevant provisions. As a Memorial Day usually applies the death of a saint, as the dies natalis, which s celebrated as the actual "birthday" in heaven liturgically. Justified exceptions are provided.

In both cases, the death was not established as a memorial. It would be neither 2 April, the anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II., nor 3 June, the anniversary of the death of Pope John XXIII. "occupied" by a higher ranking feast or the commemoration of a church in the world, of particularly revered saint.

Memorial of John XXIII .: Anniversary of the Opening of the Council

As a commemoration of John Paul II. was determined as October 22, the day of his election as Pope, as this also applies to other holy popes. John Paul II. Reigned from 1978 to 2005. As a memorial for John XXIII. was determined with the 11th of October, or the anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which he had convened. Thus this reinforces the impression that the canonization of Pope Angelo Roncalli, which was completed by Francis, contrary to the applicable regulations, arbitrarily without miracles, not only serves as the "neutralization" of the canonization of John Paul II. but the "canonization" of Second Vatican Council. John XXIII. reigned from 1958 to 1963.

The unexpected double canonization by Francis took p[lace last April 27 in Rome. The day went down as the "Day of the four popes" in the church history, as well as Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI., took part in the solemn canonization and concelebrated with Francis.

On the 19th of October, Pope Francis will beatify Pope Paul VI. (1963-1978) another pope of recent Church history and thus raise him to the altars.
