Pope John Paul II Research Paper

146 Words1 Page

Do you show mercy in your life? One man shows leniency even though the other’s deeds have been, for us, unforgivable. This person has been the victim of attempted assassination but still finds the good in himself to show forgiveness. In Vatican City, the Pope John Paul II had done just that. Pope John Paul II shows mercy because he forgives, visits and talks to his shooter. Wednesday, May 13, 1981 at St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City, Pope John Paul II received 4 shots to his body. Mehmet Ali Agca used a Browning Hi-Power in an attempt to murder the Pope. Right after the shooting, Agca was in alarm and made an effort to flee without setting off his bomb or fired more shots but was stopped by a security guard and several bystanders. The Pope

    The Infamous Paul Bernardo Max Myronuk PF 331 H01 Criminology Lorne Clifford Oct, 19th, 2015 How do you define a serial killer? According to the FBI handbook it’s a person who has killed on at least three separate occasions, with a break in between the murders. They are usually derived from the compulsion and lack of self-control that developed due to a troubled upbringing or a mental disorder of sorts. Often there is also a sexual element to the acts, and in between the acts they usually act quite normal. (Mrjamesryancom, 2015)

  • Pope Gregory Research Paper

    1241 Words  | 5 Pages

    Like Saint Augustine in the sixth century, Pope Gregory VII tried to reform the church in the eleventh century. During his first synod in 1074 C.E., Gregory " decreed that no one could be admitted to orders without a vow of celibacy and that the laity was forbidden to attend the services of an unchaste priest, deacon, or subdeacon. " This statement stemmed from the pope 's ability of his plenitudo potestatis or fullness of power. The pope would have this authority, because the position of the pope marks a lineage that is supposed to lead back to St. Peter, who the Christian religion was built on. If an individual did not follow Gregory 's decrees, they would receive escalating punishments.

    True mercy does not only consist of looking merciful or acting compassionately but also in its truest form; mercy occurs by overshadowing the presence of evil through the actions of love, compassion and the presence of God and the power of his presences is restored perceptually by human actions. To feel the true presence of God and all he has to offer, mercy is tangible act humankind can hear, touch and visually observe and through confirmation of these human senses, absorbed as truth. Mercy has an infinite place, especially in today's society, a society of convenience driven by greed for material objects produced technological advances. Humans are in a hurry to have what everyone else has, stuff! The pursuit of happiness no longer includes the idea of family, family values, spiritual values and many more that bond humankind together.
