Pope John Paul II To Become Saint

From the New Daily News:
He could be St. John Paul by Christmas.
Pope John Paul, the popular Polish pontiff who led the Roman Catholic church for more than a quarter century, was placed on the fast-track for sainthood Tuesday by the cardinals and bishops on the Church’s canonization committee.
All that stands now between John Paul and his canonization is final approval from Pope Francis, which is expected to happen on Dec. 8, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
“I thank God that I will live to see the elevation to sainthood the person who I served with love to the last beating of his heart,” Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, who was the Pope’s longtime private secretary, told Polish radio.
John Paul, who reigned from 1978 to his death in 2005, was a charismatic leader who reformed the church, hastened the downfall of communism in Europe and repaired relations and denounced anti-Semitism as a “sin against God and humanity.”
Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League said “for many of us Pope John Paul is already a saint, this just formalizes it.”

It'll be kind of cool to see someone that you have seen on TV and read about in newspapers to become a saint.
