I always thought that sainthood had to be accompanied by TWO verified miracles. Am I wrong? If there were two miracles, what, pray tell, were they?

Two miracles have been attributed to JP2’s intercession.
One miracle has been attributed to John23rd’s intercession.
The Pope waived the second miracle requirement for him. This is not often done, but it can be, and the Pope did just that.

I looked it up.
He is a saint by ACCLAIM. I never knew that was a process for sainthood.

Live and learn.
