Pope beatifies John Paul before 1.5 million faithful

What I find incredible is that it took Catholicism this long to nose-dive, and now that they finally are, its mostly for the wrong reasons.

This transparent attempt to get attention with the beatification of John Paul though, that is a good reason.

Mugabe, and Berlusconi. Could it get any more beatific?

The only miracle he did was managing to keep those paedophile priests out of jail!! This is just such a big joke!!

John Paul was a great peacemaker and a beloved figure within the church. If anybody deserved the fast track it would be him, he may very well replace Maximilian Kolbe as my favorite saint when the process is complete.

Bin Laden was struck by lightening.... The miracle is fulfilled. On to the next stage.

??? What are you talking about???

The mother Church does some odd things.

John Paul II was a great representative for the Catholic Church. I am very pleased to hear he is being honored in this manner.
