It’s about bloody time the Vatican put the brakes on. JPII was a great man, but his fast-tracking of saints was just silly.

Why? It seems that the lives of 20th century saints were much easier to investigate if only because documentation, travel, and communication have grown at lightspeed.

That said, what's wrong with fast-tracking, if the pertinent information and eyewitness testimony is available? Should we wait two hundred years to canonize Mother Theresa so it looks like we're not rushing into it?
