Today Popes John XXIII and John Paul II were formally recognized as saints. I often thought the canonization process for St. John Paul II was fast, but no doubt he was a only man.
I think John XXIII was recognized to assuage the liberal wing who hated John Paul II. But then, I love a good conspiracy.
Of course, Pope Pius the XII will NEVER be proclaimed a saint. Thanks Mr. Holculth!!
I know what the Church teaches & know how I don't measure up! And none of the bovine scatology about the Church having to change, either!
It seems to me that the leadership of the Catholic Church in America over the better part of the last fifty years has been at best embarrassed about the Faith or at worst antagonistic about the Faith. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!

Sancte Michael Archangele,
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.
