For the honour of the Blessed Trinity, the exaltation of the Catholic faith and the fostering of the Christian life, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and our own, after due deliberation and frequent prayers for the divine assistance
The Pope is using his authority, but after due deliberation and frequent prayers for the divine assistance. This planned step would be going against due deliberation. How can you defend this action!?

Sorry if I didn't make that clear (I was just responding to the doubters of the CURRENT canonizations). This proposal is just dumb. If he's a saint, he can manage to get a miracle or two.
I think this article overstates the consideration JP II is giving this - it makes it appear that he's about to implement this rule, but the only actual source just says that a proposal has been presented to him.
