http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=nation_world&id=5164711It is jaw-dropping... the fact that the news media (I saw on TV this morning) reports that someone says that a dead pope healed them from an illness as a true fact... like it could actually happen.
It just made me totally sick to my stomach.
But hey.. he's on his way to sainthood..
"Pope Benedict XVI announced in May 2005 that he was waiving the traditional five-year waiting period and allowing the beatification process to begin. There is still no word on when any beatification or canonization might occur."
