[edit] Nobel Peace Prize nomination

  • Bishop Fortich was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and was praised by Pope John Paul II for his efforts in social activism.

Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 08:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
