Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII Get Their Sainthood On
LatestThe rumors are true! Everyone’s favorite pope, Pope John Paul II, will be declared a saint. Also jumping on the sainthood bandwagon is Pope John XXIII.
In order to be anointed a saint, the Vatican must decide that the person in question was responsible for two miracles during their lifetime. The two miracles being attributed to John Paul, who died in 2005, involve healing two different women: he cured one of Parkinson’s Disease, and the other had an aneurism that magically went away. According to Reuters, John Paul’s “progression to sainthood is the fastest in modern times.” Congrats Johnny!
