Another fast track to sainthood...

It looks like, with much support from Catholics worldwide, that Pope Benedict has set aside the normal 5 year waiting period to consider beatification towards sainthood for Pope John Paul II.

Update: The Vatican has started the secretive process for beatifying Pope John Paul II. After examining his life and his theology, they are waiting to confirm a posthumous miracle in order to beatify him. If a second is confirmed, then he will be declared a saint. (6/28/05)
