Pope John Paul II -- one of history's very most memorable -- took a great leap toward sainthood today when he was beatified by close associate and successor Benedict XVI in a huge, powerful, emotional ceremony attended by hundreds of thousands -- not as many as the three million who attended his funeral, but one of the largest beatifications in history.

With the faithful cheering wildly, Benedict declared the Polish pope "blessed" -- the fastest beatification on record, beating out even the rapid pace of Mother Teresa of Calcutta (by several days).

Amen! John Paul, help us defeat marxism once and for all.

I was able to get up to at least see the part in which John Paul II was made a Blessed, then went back to sleep. Praise be to God!

Yes, and not just only by his prayers, but also as a team with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

Lovely.

The triumvirate of liberty! (and we can toss in Lech Walesa, for good measure)

To quote Neil Diamond, good times never seemed so good.
