Can we canonize that woman who gave JPII the pagan blessing too while we're at it?
I believe the pic I've seen would have been the Hindu. But wait a minute, if she smeared cow manure on him, maybe canonizing her really isn't such a bad idea.

A few days ago Pope Francis signed the decree recognising the heroic virtues of Jerzy Ciesielski, who is now a step closer to sainthood just as his great friend and teacher, Karol Wojtyla, whom he never lived to see as Pope. In the homily he said at Ciesielski’s funeral (he died tragically whilst on an Egyptian cruise in 1970) John Paul II confided that he felt the same sadness Jesus had felt in the Garden of Gethsemane.

If canonized, I expect he will be the first saint to have died tragically on a cruise.
:facepalm:
It's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the difference between an article in The Onion and news coming from "Rome." "O great defender of the cruise ship buffet, pray for us." The Conciliar Church is a parody of itself. "
