It seems way too fast.
We in the 21st century are too impatient.
We confuse “admire” with “beatify.”
And from what I understand, the Devils Advocate role was removed a while back?
The faster process could very well be a GOOD thing. With so much hurt and heartach in this world, we NEED their prayers of intercession at the throne of God.
As I posted some days ago: Pope John Paul II’s accomplishments during his tenure and especially leading the fight against communism that ended up with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the freeing of Easter Europe, is reason enough, for me, for him being declared a saint.
