Translation: we no longer believe in miracles. Further translation: we no longer have the faith. The problem is the Holy See itself, not the process.

This appears to be in the same vein as Paul VI's dumbing down the requirements for recognizing apparitions.

I suspect that -- soon enough -- we'll have saints of a caliber of the Seers of Medjugorje.

Hadn't realized that Kolbe marked the change in martyrdom. That's not cool.
