A sign that this canonization is not all its cracked up to be? Seriously, I have my doubts on both parts of this double canonization.

Perhaps God is trying to tell us something?

“In what one Italian newspaper called “a tragedy full of disturbing coincidences”, the victim lived with his parents in a town called Lovere in Via Papa Giovanni XXIII – Pope John XXIII Street”

I agree. Why was there a John Paul the 23rd BEFORE there was a John Paul the 2nd?

“...Seriously, I have my doubts on both parts of this double canonization...”

I have my doubts too. Both of those Popes skated close to issues that transgress Pope Pius X’s Oath Against Modernism.

Did they “entirely reject the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously”?

Only God alone is the judge of anyone’s intentions underlying their actions; however both of these Pope’s had some murky areas where they seemed ready to water down the Church’s solid doctrines held since its founding from Christ Himself.
