A nun's illness was mysteriously cured after she and her fellow nuns prayed to Pope John Paul II, and because of that he is now being fast-tracked towards sainthood. Convenient, ridiculous, naive, or justified? Your thoughts?

Where did the question about the Holy Trinity go?

My doctor has healed thousands of people, sometimes with placebos no doubt. He must surely qualify to sit beside the Big Man when he pops his clogs.

Funnily enough, like the claims that led to Mary McKillop's recent rise to sainthood, there is no requirement to even prove the existence of the original illness in the person whose remarkable recovery has been attributed to the would-be saint.

JPII made more saints than any previous Pope. Anyone interested in the credibility of those he Cannonised would be likely to have an interest in establishing the chain of certification. "Oh she was cannonised by a Saint. No doubt there then."

One day the current Pope will become a Saint and the ridiculous facade will be thoroughly exposed.
