ROME - The Roman Catholic Church placed Pope John Paul II on the path to sainthood Tuesday during a joyous ceremony at a Roman basilica — the fastest start to a beatification process in memory for a man many considered a saint long before he died.It's not surprising considering PJP II appointed more saints during his reign than all the other popes combined in the history of the church.
The faithful remained silent during the oaths, and some in the crowd wept. But once the cause was declared officially open, applause rang out, Polish and Vatican flags fluttered in the pews and there were chants of "Giovanni Paolo" and "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Immediately!"
It's trivial now.. just like knighthood in England.. I mean.. Sir Elton John? Christ, the man can wield a boa, but there's no way he could weild a sword.
How about we call him Saint I-refused-condoms-for-AIDS-stricken-Africans-which-contributed-to-the-deaths-of-untold-lives.
Or how about Saint I-contributed-to-the-cover-up-of-untold-numbers-of-child-molestations.
That's a good name..
