AmericanPapist Comments
I have seen multiple article on this and the emphasis in all of them was "trip-hop" and the author being a horror film composer.
The YouTube clip I watched just couldn't be classified as "trip-hop."
Actually,one of the requirements for canonisation is that there not be a 'cult'. There is whole seperate part of the process which is called "processus super non cultu".
Cultus just means veneration - same Latin as used in the word cultivate. In today's era of Newspeak "cult" has odd connotations that are not in keeping with the actual word. There must be veneration for beatification.
Those two Youtube clips are great - to quote R.E.Lee's comment after the death of Stuart - I cannot think of him without weeping.
Sancto Subito indeed.
Wouldn't the perception that the late Pope's cult was encouraged by the Holy See be a strike against him in any canonization proceedings? One might make the case that the cult didn't arise organically but was cynically promoted by those who have something to gain by his canonization. (I'm not saying that this is the case, only that it is a charge that one can foresee.)
