Pope Francis has cleared John Paul II for
sainthood, approving a second miracle attributed
to his intercession, the Vatican says.
John Paul was extremely popular during much of
his 27-year-papacy.
He died in 2005 at age 84.
The canonisation ceremony is expected to take
place before the end of the year, possibly in
December.
Two miracles are required for sainthood.
The first miracle to be approved by the Vatican
came just six months after John Paul’s death,
when French nun Sister Marie Simon-Pierre
inexplicably recovered from Parkinson's disease
after praying for the late pontiff’s "intercession".
Pope Francis approved the second miracle
attributed to John Paul
There have been suggestions that Sister Marie
did not actually have Parkinson's.
The Vatican spokesman said the second miracle
concerned a Costa Rican woman.
The Spanish Catholic newspaper La Razon said
she suffered from a brain aneurysm that was
inexplicably cured on May 1, 2011 - the day of
John Paul's beatification.
La Razon reported that the woman had been
given only a month to live after doctors found
she had the aneurysm. But her family said that
after they prayed to John Paul, the aneurysm
disappeared.
The newspaper quoted her doctor, Dr Alejandro
Vargas, as saying: "I can't explain it based on
science."
For a healing to be officially certified as a miracle,
the occurrence must be permanent,
instantaneous and have no scientific explanation.
The Vatican put John Paul on a fast-track to
sainthood just weeks after his death on April 2,
2005, dispensing with the traditional five-year
waiting period.
Calls for the beloved pontiff to become a saint
erupted at his funeral, where many mourners
shouted "Santo Subito!" ("Sainthood Now!".
But some Vatican observers have voiced
concerns that the process has been too quick.
The last years of John Paul’s papacy have been
marred by a clerical sex abuse scandal, and critics
said he failed to address other problems such as
dysfunctional governance at the Vatican.
As one of the longest-serving popes, the Polish-
born John Paul travelled far and wide, often
greeted by massive crowds as he championed
peace, denounced human rights abuses and
deplored the decadence of the modern world.
He eschewed the pomp that surrounded his
predecessors to seek contact with ordinary
people, and is credited by many with helping to
topple Communism in Eastern Europe. In 1981,
he survived an assassination attempt in St Peter's
Square.
But he also alienated many Catholics with
staunchly conservative views on social matters.
Pope Francis also decided to make the late
pontiff John XXIII a saint even though the
Vatican has not confirmed a second miracle
attributed to his intercession.
The Vatican said Francis had the power to
"dispense" with the normal saint-making
procedures to canonise him on his own merit,
without a miracle.
John XXIII, who led the Roman Catholic Church
between 1958 and 1963, was dubbed the "good
pope" and enacted sweeping reforms to
modernise the Vatican.

I am aghast at how supposed Protestants do not know, nor bother to research, how evil the Roman Catholic Church is.

The Roman Catholics began the Slave Trade before the English did.

JOHN HAWKINS hijacked 301 slaves from the Portuguese in 1562, selling them in the Caribbean Islands.

He then persuaded Queen Elizabeth to get him the ship JESUS OF LUEBECK, by 1564.

These "Good Christians" maintain this same cavalier attitude toward Human life in general, and Black people in articular, to this very day, enshrined in their Religion.

THE OYINBOS HAVE HIJACKED THE BIBLE, PRETENDING THAT THE ANCIENT HEBREWS, YAHSHUA AND THE DISCIPLES WERE ALL WHITE MEN, WHEREAS THEY WERE BLACK PEOPLE.

Therefore, the Pope Francis- and the other guy, who was appointed by God (sez them!) but retired (because God chose the wrong guy- remember, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC GOD IS THE COMMUNION WAFER- NO JOKE!) are found both WORSHIPPING an ICON IDOL IMAGE of a BLACK MADONNA MARY, and a BLACK BABY JESUS.

The entirety of their Church leadership have KNOWN this.
