John Paul On Fast Track To Sainthood

John Paul On Fast Track To Sainthood

Catholic Church officials reach a key milestone in the drive to make
Pope John Paul II a saint Monday, closing an investigation into his life and handing over a dossier detailing the purported miraculous cure of a nun who prayed to him.

The events come two years to the day after John Paul died -- a remarkably fast pace that underscores the church's keen interest in beatifying John Paul and responding to the calls of "Santo Subito" or "Sainthood Immediately!" that erupted after his death.
