Interesting article about wanting to make (ex) Pope John Paul II a saint.
Although some of his anti-contraception views were abhorent in my view, but if the church wants to make him a Saint then fair enough. What I find hard to get my head around though is this miracle stuff. A ‘Saint’ isn’t just some posthumous-honour you get for exceptional service to a particular cause (in this the Roman Catholic Church) during your life. That I would accept really.

Ohh no, you have to perform two ‘documented’ miracles! One during your life and one AFTER you die! All documented of course, as proof! [Dr. Evil voice] Riiiiiight!?!? [/Dr. Evil Voice]
Excuse me if I sound somewhat uncertain about this.
