Proper canonical title
Shouldn't the article be titled "Pope St. John Paul II"?
Allegations 'have been criticized': weasel words
What allegations haven't been criticized? This is intended to question the validity of the allegations, but provides no rhetorical support, and neither of those non-English links seem to point to legally consequential sources. Nothing wrong with citing media explanations of solid critique-- if those are links to media coverage of judges discussing those allegations, then great-- but if I added everything that my local radio DJs complained about to wikipedia, just about everything would "have been criticized." Legally noteworthy, substantiated criticisms of those allegations should be explained. Can't we get an English language version of that criticism for this English language Wikipedia article when so much of the cited abuse happened in English speaking countries? If there isn't any English language source for the criticism, are we sure that critique is consequential enough to question the validity of these widespread claims without at least an English-language explanation of the criticism in the text? I don't think it makes sense to remove the phrase because I have no idea if it's valid or not-- it may well just need clarification-- but I am adding an inline WP:AWW tag to the sentence.

Adding the title "the Great" to John Paul II's name
Hello to Whom It May Concern, after looking through the list of all the pontiffs I knew that Pope St. John Paul II was also referred to as "the Great" and in the article towards the bottom there is a reference to JP2's title of "the Great". So, I was wondering if it was alright to add "the great" behind Pope St. John Paul II's name at the top of the article banner info box to read "John Paul the Great" or "John Paul II the Great" figured I'd ask so he could match that of Pope Sts. Leo I, Gregory I, and Nicholas I? Thanks :) Starfield360 (talk) 01:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
:This is a devotional title which holds no official status, but that some Catholics use it has been added to the article. M.A.Spinn (talk) 16:21, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
