Who helped Pope Benedict XVI become the pope?
Pope Benedict, as Cardinal Ratzinger, was Pope John Paul II's right hand man for many, many years. It is to be hoped that the primary moving force in Cardinal Ratzinger's selection as pope was the Holy Spirit, but that fact that Pope John Paul had been Pope for many years, and that no one knew his mind better than Cardinal Ratzinger may have made the choice perfectly obvious to the Cardinals, they certainly didn't take much time to make up their minds.
What can be said about the beatification of Pope John Paul II?
A:Pope Benedict, wishing to move quickly to the beatification of his predecessor, waived the customary five year waiting period and allowed the investigation into John Paul's life and virtues to begin immediately.In addition to a virtuous life, one miracle was required to be accepted as valid by the Church for Pope John Paul's beatification. The sole miracle was the cure of a young French nun from Parkinson's disease, which had initially seemed like the perfect case for a miracle as the Vatican fast-tracked John Paul's beatification. The nun, who suffered from the same disease that ravaged John Paul for years, had prayed to him for relief and one morning two months after John Paul died, woke up completely, inexplicably cured. This has been criticised as not a proven cure: i) Parkinson's disease takes years and could return; ii) only an autopsy can prove whether Sister Marie Simon-Pierre really suffered from Parkinson's or from another neurological disease which has similar symptoms as Parkinson's but which can be cured. It is also reported that Sister Marie Simon-Pierre subsequently had a relapse. On the evidence, it appears that no posthumous miracle can really be attributed to Pope John Paul II.Nevertheless his beatification will stand and, with the requirement now reduced from three to two miracles for canonisation, only one further miracle would be recognised by the Church for John Paul's canonisation as a saint. Once again, speed is of the essence, and in the absence of a credible second miracle, Pope Francis decided to proceed to the canonisation of Pope John Paul II in April 2014 without the normal requirement for a further miracle.

Who is the holier Reverend Billy Graham or Pope John Paul II?
Comparing John Paul II to Billy Graham is like comparing apples and oranges. Each was considered holy within their own faith by their own followers. As a Catholic, I would vote for John Paul but I am sure a Baptist would vote differently. Only God can make that judgement.

Why was Pope John XXIII called a transitional pope?
Because he was very old when he was elected, and not expected to make any major changes in the Church.
What happened when John Paul II died?
Upon his death, the apartment and office of the pope would be sealed and his ring removed from his hand and destroyed so it could no longer be used to seal documents. Once the death certificate is signed, the body would be removed and prepared for the public viewing. It may, or may not be embalmed. In the case of John Paul, it was not. A public announcement would be made and notifications would be sent to all the cardinals. The camarlengo would make arrangements for the funeral and the subsequent conclave to elect a new pope.
