John Paul II beatified before 1.5 million faithful

Is it just me or is this “Beatification” stuff “over-the-top?”

They dig up a dead guy, put him on display for millions to see, and say he’s going to be a saint because someone claimed he cured them of something…after he was dead!

How strange is that?

Beatification, a morale boost for church scarred by sex abuse crisis, has also triggered new wave of anger from victims

"From now on Pope John Paul shall be called 'blessed,'" Pope Benedict, wearing resplendent white and gold vestments, solemnly proclaimed in Latin, establishing that his predecessor's feast day would be October 22, the day of the inauguration of John Paul's history-making pontificate in 1978.
