Did he become a Cardinal posthumously?

He was created a Cardinal in 2007. While he died in 2008. He was therefore not created Cardinal posthumously. He was a retired Archbishop when the title was conferred on him. This is perfectly acceptable in Catholic teaching.

SALVATION STORY:NOT GRACE.

In the days of Adam, there was love, faith and hope. Adam loved the animals, his environment, the woman God gave him and the Lord God. Adam was communicating to the Lord through faith, because the voice of God was coming into the garden, but Adam could not see God physically. Remember, the Lord God told Moses during the burning bush that Moses could not see him and live. The Lord did something for Moses to see His back and Moses got a deformed face, he has to cover his head from then on.That means no human couid see God the father, the true holy father and lived. Adam had no fear and was hopeful in all things.

Right after the fall of Adam and Eve, " let us" decided to rescue Adam and Eve and their descendants from the great beast, the dragon of old, Lucifer. In "let us" attempts to save man, Lucifer was able to intercept and the men of God fumble against God. The final salvation ploy was achieved, when God transferred himself to man to destroy satan. "Let us" changed his name from Yahwah to Jesus Christ to create new order called Jesus Christ syndrome to ward of Lucifer, in the sense that Lucifer was part of the old system B.C, but AD is all of Jesus Christ, until after 2000, when christianity will be tainted to material gospel. That means the human representative of Lucifer with the name spelt 666 and his entourage are here on earth. Those so called men of God who came after the resurrection of Christ Jesus who put on some titles that are meant for Jesus Christ in his new church away from the synagogues, will try to impersonate him becomes the agents of the great liar. Titles like prophet,holy father,Rabi or shepherd and many more. The disciples did not give themselves these accolades, even, though they did almost all that Jesus Christ did. They had absolute respect for the name above all name Jesus Christ.

Now they found their "little one" of Davidien heritage, military combat style saviour of the jews.Because of him many of the jews rejected Jesus Christ of Nazerene, the Lord God 2000 years ago. This jewish leader was and is.He is here to claim all the lands that the David the king conguered 3000 years ago, ecxcept, who is, is not a King but a mere man of democratic leader. like the lamb with lion mouth of past president of the world giving freedom through bombs, mountain lion trait(cougar). Cougars has the same color like lion and act and behave like lions.The leopard succeeded him. A molato or mix race means leopard literally.Why, because Jesus Christ did not bruise the head of human but snake, a real snake. in Gesamane.The real human life is precious to God to bruise them.He came to save them and he mold them to give life to them. The only thing in life God did not called out of the air. For another human to bruise the head of another human without his consent is not a joke. It is the anti-christ USA which would allowed that.Fools,I know you do not respect black skin and foolish black Americans and some incorrigible Africans with hateful heart will support silly things like this. Africans like me do not tolerate things like that.Why are you in my computer. You think I am afraid of you? I knew electricity is a low frequency circuit and it can carry data. computers use electricity so an advance systems of military or pentagon can enter computers anytime. There is so many ways to write this.

The great reggae musician Bob Marley sang so many love songs, including the song "could you be love, blackman love,woman love", and he also produced another song like "don't let them fool ya, oh no".

Grace is just the nature of God, Meaning Godly characteristics,attributes and his operations, until he is provoke. Salvation came to rescue man from Lucifer and train those who are under rescue to put on the grace of God which are elaborated by the new testament through the epistles of the disciples. The disciples and apostles did not wrote something different from what Jesus Christ spoke of. They just broke what Jesus Christ spoke into daily accountable experiences for believers to apply daily. Grace and Love are the same in action, but salvation bring in mind; repentance baptism,teaching, preaching, worshipping like singing the songs of praises, healing from miracles and favor of present generation.Please!!! channel 15, I agree with you most of the time Fredrico, but stop confusing your clients on this matter. The gospel cannot be grace, which means there shall never be judgement? or some sort of punishment for those who are born again? It is a false teaching. You are picking some parts to support your mantal ingrain objective, The bible does not change so God of yesterday, today and forever. However, salvation started when the plans of Lucifer succeeded, then the heavens device a plan to bring man back onto himself. I know you have started something with an aFRICAN WHICH YOU THOUGHT COULD BE AN EASY RIDE, you are being whipped and to accept your wrong, you are coming up with all sort of lies to try to make yourself right infront of your congregations. Your group started with faith as Paul was giving out. When Paul of tarsus asked his congregation to follow him, do you understand? He meant they should focus on his writtings. Not him personally, else Paul becomes their Lord. He also said in some places that the gospel is not about him nor anybody out there, but Jesus Christ. To tell the truth, I am not reading the bible, but, because I have total understanding of scriptures, I am able to pick on you and come up with the correct prescriptions for your group religious escapade. I am not religious or let me say in this way, my religion is a name, the name above all name. That name is a huge topic, meaning there is so much in that name. In fact the name is about creation and the end time period, false teachers.

It is sin to glorify the cross, instead of the name,Jesus Christ. The cross is a symbol of sin, cruelty and wickedness, yet the person on the cross means SALVATION onto human beings.

Amariya,(I don't believe that's your name) are you catholic? He retired from active church duties but was still fully involved in non-physical duties of the church. In 1995 my family and I visited him at his residence and I've never had the presence of God on me like when this man was praying for me with his hands on my head. I know to the people in the Southern part of Ghana, anything from the Northern part is not worth mentioning. Is about time that mentality changes.

Retired Catholics priest, especially those that are ranked higher in the church can still be promoted while retired. He was elevated to Cardinal in March 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI for his invaluable services to the church with exemplary faithfulness and admirable dedication. Nowhere did the writer say three years later, where are you getting this from?

3. To exalt above all others.

Definition of canonize (vt)
bing.com · Bing Dictionary
can·on·ize [ kánn? n?z ] 1.declare somebody as saint: in the Roman Catholic Church, to declare a deceased person to be a saint
2.give religious approval to something: to declare something to be acceptable or valid according to canon law
3.glorify something: to idolize somebody or glorify something

The true origin of canonization and beatification must be sought in the Catholic doctrine of the worship (cultus), invocation, and intercession of the saints. As was taught by St. Augustine (Quaest. in Heptateuch., lib. II, n. 94; Reply to Faustus XX.21), Catholics, while giving to God alone adoration strictly so-called, honour the saints because of the Divine supernatural gifts which have earned them eternal life, and through which they reign with God in the heavenly fatherland as His chosen friends and faithful servants. In other words, Catholics honour God in His saints as the loving distributor of supernatural gifts. The worship of latria (latreia), or strict adoration, is given to God alone; the worship of dulia (douleia), or honour and humble reverence, is paid the saints; the worship of hyperdulia (hyperdouleia), a higher form of dulia, belongs, on account of her greater excellence, to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Who is a saint?
(a converted person)

"All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household" (Philippians 4:22).

Family Bible Notes
Philippians 4:22
"They that are of Caesar's household; persons attached to the emperor's household, who had been converted by the labors of Paul or his associates."

God has many people in the Catholic Church and for centuries He (God) has been producing some of His finest altruistic Catholic missionaries the world has ever seen. One such person, I know of, is the late Eric Liddel, a missionary to China. Only God has the records of the deeds of the saints (not by Catholic beatification) in His Book of Life. What you and I think of the deeds of people does not change God's records. God is the only True Witness and Judge. Our concern should be to surrender wholeheartedly to his cause and to be overcomers of sin by grace.

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels" (Revelation 3:5).

What is worrisome is that the distraction of Speculative Theology, a theosophy introduced to Eve by Satan in Eden, continues to our day through tradtionalism in chuches. Theophism is the devil's brand of theology; It contradicts God's word.

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die"(Genesis 2:17).

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil"(Genesis 3:4-5).

Although it is a laudable to recognise the selfless missionary deeds of people to encourage others to follow their footsteps, it is another thing to promote dead people to "saints" whereby they can accept worship (via intercession) to help the living. The latter is the doctrine of the "Immortality Of The Soul" which contradicts God's word.

What does the bible say happens to a person when he dies?
"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish" (Psalms 146:3-4).

Jesus what is death?
"These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead" (John 11:11-14).

Job, will the dead ever live again?
"If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands" (Job 14:14-15).

So the dead will wait until there is a change. Paul, what do you know about this change?

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

But I have been praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints all these years and sometimes I get answers to my prayers. How do you explain that?

"For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God." (John 16:27).

The doctrine of the Immortality Of The Soul, Spiritualism, A worldwide National Sunday Law (still future) will be some of the means Satan will use to deceive many to worship him.

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the devil), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb (Christ) slain from the foundation of the world.

Question to ponder: Is my name written in the book of life of the Lamb?

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity" (2 Timothy 2:19).

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty" (2 Corinthians 6:17-18).

Nun tells of healing after intercessory prayers to Pope John Paul II
Nun tells of healing after praying to John Paul II - FoxNews.com

The following excerpt is from FoxNews.com:

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France – A French nun says she felt new inner strength and vitality as her Parkinson's disease suddenly disappeared in 2005 — a recovery the Vatican attributes to the miraculous intercession of Pope John Paul II.

Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, who works at a Paris maternity clinic, told reporters in a rare appearance Monday that she felt "reborn" on waking June 3, 2005 after she had prayed for healing to John Paul.

"There was a new strength inside me, and my body was rediscovering its vitality and fluidity," Simon-Pierre, appearing in good health, told reporters in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence.

The 49-year-old nun — who has largely been shielded from the media — said she still sometimes talks to John Paul.

"For this news conference, I told him to stay right beside me!" said Simon-Pierre, who appeared smiling and wearing a white habit at the news conference.

Pope Benedict XVI has set May 1 as the date for his predecessor's beatification, a step toward possible sainthood.

Church authorities have studied Simon-Pierre's cure and determined it was inexplicable and due to the intercession of John Paul, who also suffered from Parkinson's. Benedict approved the miracle last week, paving the way for the beatification.

Simon-Pierre's healing came about two months after John Paul's death on April 2, 2005, at age 84. Soon before her mysterious recovery, she had asked to stop working, saying she was "ready to finish out her days in a wheelchair," her former mother superior recalled.

"When she came to ask me to replace her, I noticed that she was very worn out. I told her to wait. I told her that John Paul II hadn't had his last word on the subject," Sister Marie-Thomas recalled.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word (God's word--The Bible), it is because there is no light in them" (Isaiah 8:19-20).
