One step closer

Pope John Paul II and Pius XII move closer to sainthood

"Pope Benedict has moved two of his predecessors, Pius XII, and John Paul II, closer to Roman Catholic sainthood."
I feel sorry for poor Pope Paul VI. Pope John XXIII has his proponents, as does Pope John Paul II and Pope Pius XII. Even Pope Paul I has his supporters for canonization. Pope Paul VI was a good pope, but surrounded by outgoing, charismatic popes, and so he is ignored by history...
