It looks like Pope John Paul II is getting ready to become Saint John Paul. According to today's Lexington Herald-Leader, a French nun has come forward crediting her "inexplicable cure for Parkinson's disease" to the recently deceased pontiff. That would give John Paul II the "miracle attributed to his intercession" needed for him to be beatified.
One miracle. That's it? Talk about lowered standards. According to Bede's History of the English Church and People, even the dirt at the spot where King Oswald (later Saint Oswald) died was miraculous for any number of people who drank it with water.
By comparison, John Paul II seems like a low standards Saint.
Mrs. RSI also mentions that she deserves to be beatified more than Pope John Paul II. Something about living with bloggers.
