Beatification of the late Pope John Paul II
I have learnt from the BBC news that the late Pope John Paul II has been officially beatified at the Vatican in front of mammoth gathering of Catholic faithful. French nun Marie Simon-Pierre got miraculous cure of Parkinson's disease. The miraculous cure is part of the case for the beatification. This is the last stage before sainthood. And another miraculous case will be required for sainthood.
We have heard that by this time already papers of 270 miraculous cases of the late Pope were submitted to the Vatican Authority. Hopefully, the ceremony for his sainthood would be held at the Vatican soon. It may be noted that in this time of advancement of science, the miraculous cases could be sent to the top level associations of the scientists of the world. Their verification would be the perfect answer to any question regarding this great religious event.
