It's Official: Pope John Paul II To Become Saint

From the NY Daily News:
Pope Francis has cleared John Paul II for sainthood, approving a miracle attributed to his intercession.
Francis also decided Friday to canonize another pope, John XXIII, even though there has been no second miracle attributed to his intercession. The Vatican said Francis approved a decision by cardinals and bishops.
The ceremonies are expected before the end of the year. The date of Dec. 8 has been floated as a possibility, given it’s the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a major feast day for the church.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/pope-john-paul-ii-canonized-saint-pope-francis-article-1.1390836
It's kind of neat, especially for us Catholics, to watch a man as he was elected pope and then watch rule his empire and then, a few years after he dies, becomes a saint.
