Comments on: Closing Down The "Saint Factory?" http://theblackcordelias.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/closing-down-the-saint-factory/ Send five bob and ask all your friends to do the same.

My only hope is that John Paul isn't remembered this way. A friend of mine recently wrote about the canonization of his cousin, Gaetano Catanoso--a process started by John Paul and carried out by Benedict. Nothing in that book tells the story of "saint factory." Rather, it tells the story of a young priest who stayed behind to help many in his poor, small, suffering town, when those who could afford to leave left for America. Gaetano stayed behind and helped those who had no choice but to be left behind. It wouldn't be fair to do the same to these saints, now. Thank you for this post.

Upon whom are you going to cast judgement on his/her sanctity? To those who say that there were too many Saints made by JPII, I ask: Who would you like to get rid of?
