I noticed the same thing right off. Also I noticed the:

"was the only political leader to support Pope Benedict XV's peace efforts"

That line is rather timely also.

Why do you think the Vatican sainted him? Because he cured a Brazilian nun of varicose veins??? No, because of its agenda.

The Vatican knows there has never been a single documented miracle associated with this fellow, ever. The just invented one when it was politically convenient to invent another "saint."

Makes you wonder how often this sort of thing occurs. More often than some Catholics would like to admit, I'd imagine.

This isn't the first time JP2 has gone against tradition, saintswise--he beatified Mama T before she had been dead long enough.

It's funny to watch Catholics defend their mystical, complicated rules when their own Pope violates them on a political whim.
