Pope John Paul II to Be Beatified May 1 By RACHEL DONADIO Published: January 14, 2011 VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI moved his beloved predecessor one step closer to sainthood on Friday, confirming a miracle by John Paul II and setting May 1, the first Sunday after Easter, as the date of his beatification. 提到教宗本笃十六世在周五通过认可前任教宗若望保禄二世的奇蹟 并提到将於五月一日,复活节之後的第一个主日正式为JP2宣福 Sainthood would follow after the confirmation of one more miracle. 提到封圣要再出现一奇蹟 Thousands are expected to attend the beatification ceremony. Benedict is expected to celebrate the Mass himself, a much-needed bright spot in his papacy, which in recent months has been weathering a sex abuse scandal in Europe and violence against Christians in the Middle East. 数千人会参与宣福仪式.并提及这会减轻在本笃十六世的任期中出现的神父性侵丑闻与近日 发生在中东的基督徒受攻击事件的负面影响. Wildly popular, John Paul was seen as a man of his time, a Pole who marshaled the Catholic Church’s energies to help end the cold war. But he was also criticized for how he handled a sex abuse crisis that burgeoned in the United States as early as the 1980s. 这件事是受到欢迎的,JP2被他那个时代的人视作一个以天主教教会的力量去帮助冷战停止 的波兰人,但他也为了80年代时对美国的神父性虐丑闻处置不当而遭受批评. At John Paul’s funeral in April 2005, the faithful filled Saint Peter’s Square crying “santo subito,” or “sainthood now.” Benedict honored their wishes, putting John Paul on a fast-track to sainthood, waiving the traditional five-year waiting period for the process to begin, but insisting on a thorough investigation into his life. 提及他刚离世,就掀起的封圣呼声,也提及他的宣福调查是在本笃十六世为了回应这些呼声 免除往例中对宣福过程规定的五年等待期之下开始的. Benedict said in a decree on Friday that a French nun had been miraculously cured from Parkinson’s disease thanks to John Paul’s intercession. John Paul himself suffered from Parkinson’s. A second miracle is needed for him to become a saint. 提到使宣福通过的奇蹟是因为一位法国修女的帕金森氏症在她请JP2为她祈祷下而奇蹟的治 癒. In a statement on Friday, Benedict said that a Vatican-appointed committee of cardinals, bishops, doctors and theologians had determined that the recovery of Sister Marie Pierre Simon from Parkinson’s was “miraculous” and “ scientifically inexplicable.” 而在周五时本笃十六世表示在梵蒂冈任命的调查委员会的诸位枢机,主教,医生和神学家的 调查下,认为该修女的痊癒是"奇蹟"和"科学无法解释的" The news of the beatification was warmly received in John Paul’s native Poland. 这项消息受到JP2的故乡-波兰欢迎 “I am happy that Santo Subito, that people have been praying for, is finally coming true,” said Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, the Krakow archbishop and John Paul’s longtime personal secretary. John Paul’s 26-year papacy was filled with milestones. In 1979, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Krakow became the first non-Italian to become pope in four centuries. He was the first pope to visit a mosque and a synagogue. and on his watch the church issued its first new Catechism in nearly 500 years. In 2000, he asked pardon for the church’s sins against Jews, women, heretics and minorities. 克拉科夫总主教,担任过JP2生前秘书的Stanislaw Dziwi枢机对此表达的欢喜,以及JP2生时 建立的里程碑(长年来第一位非义大利籍教宗,访问清真寺,为教会过往的作为道歉) His popularity grew after he survived an assassination attempt by a Turkish gunman, Mehmet Ali Agca, in 1981, and in his later years, his slow decline from Parkinson’s disease was seen as a poignant example of one man facing death without fear. 提到他被暗杀未遂的经历,和他晚年受帕金森氏症所苦 But some dark clouds still hang over his papacy. John Paul was supportive of the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, a Mexican priest who founded a wealthy and powerful religious order, the Legionaries of Christ, who was found to have abused seminarians and fathered several children. 提到他对一位墨西哥的带领一个重要团体the Legionaries of Christ的蒙席Marcial Maciel Degollado性侵害丑闻的处置疑云 During the height of the abuse scandal last spring, defenders of Benedict said that when he was head of the Vatican’s doctrinal and disciplinary office, Benedict wanted to open an investigation into Father Maciel, but that cardinals close to John Paul blocked him. 本笃十六曾经表示在他还在信义部任职时曾被作为JP2亲信的枢机反对调查该墨西哥蒙席的 事件 The Vatican reopened an investigation into the Legionaries of Christ in 2004, when John Paul was in serious decline. Last May, the Vatican strongly condemned Father Maciel, who died in 2008, and placed the Legion under Benedict’s direct control. 当事件被提起调查的2004年JP2的身体健康开始走下坡.而在去年梵谛冈也公开谴责该位蒙 席的行为,虽然他已经在2008去世,而其带领的团体则由教宗管理 Defenders of John Paul said he was dismissive of early reports of abuse by priests because he considered it a tactic used by the Communist Party in Eastern Europe to weaken the church. In 2001, John Paul made an apology for sexual abuse by priests. 一些看法是JP2之所以不强硬处置性侵事件,是因为怀疑这些事件是当时东欧的共产主义者 刻意安排来伤害教会的,而2001时JP2也正式为犯错的神父的罪行公开道歉 “I remember kneeling beside his open coffin in St. Peter’s Basilica,” said Kazimierz Nycz, the archbishop of Warsaw. “It never even crossed my mind to pray for him. I’ve always prayed directly to him. I’ve always known he is a saint.” 华沙总主教Kazimierz Nycz表达对JP2的敬佩与怀念 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/15/world/europe/15pope.html?src=mv ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 真福者若望保禄二世为我等祈 -- 我们在天的父! 愿你的名被为圣， 愿你的国来临，愿你的旨意承行於地，如在天上一样! ▕￣￣￣▏ 我们的日用粮，求你今天赐给我们；* ▕ 天主 ▏ 宽免我们的罪债，如同我们也宽免得罪我们的人； ▕ 是爱 ▏ 不要让我们陷入诱惑，但救我们免於凶恶。 ▕▂▂▂▏ _耶稣(玛6:9~13 --
