1 Step for John Paul II's Cause Is Concluded KRAKOW, Poland, APRIL 5, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The Archdiocese of Krakow has concluded an investigative step into the life and heroic virtues of the Servant of God Pope John Paul II. A Mass marking the conclusion of the rogation process last Saturday was held in Wawel Cathedral. Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, archbishop of Krakow, presided at the event, which attracted cardinals, bishops, priests, religious and lay people. Also present were Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, city and provincial authorities, and a group of Polish parliamentarians. During the five months of the rogation process, a tribunal heard more than 100 witnesses on the period of Karol Wojtyla's life when he was a university student, laborer in Solvay, seminarian, priest, auxiliary bishop and archbishop of Krakow. Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek, former rector of Krakow's Pontifical Academy of Theology, headed the tribunal. The results of this process will be sent to the tribunal of the Diocese of Rome, in charge of the process of the cause of beatification. During his homily, Cardinal Dziwisz said that the Mass was in thanksgiving for the work carried out by John Paul II, who "has left us an example of unbounded love of Christ, unto the shedding of blood."
