A Miracle or Two

I'm not sure of the complete set of requirements for sainthood, but I do know that you need to perform two miracles to be in the running.

Well, the AP is running a story entitled, "Did Pope Perform Miracle After His Death?" Apparently, a woman with Parkinson's was cured of the disease two months to the day after JP's death, and everyone in her village had been asked to pray to JP to cure her. Doctors have no medical explanation for her cure, and the Vatican is investigating whether or not this can, in fact, be considered a miracle.

I say it's not just one miracle. It's two miracles: 1) the cure; 2) the reach from beyond the grave.

Hey, Catholics, a modest proposal: canonize JP. "The Patron Saint of Badassedness."

That pope dude totally cured my erectile dysfunction. I don't like to make a big deal out of it. But the little dude works now, man.

And it's all because of the big dude.

Rock on.

It feels really wrong saying this, but in that picture, JP looks pretty damn fine. The Hot Patron Saint of Badassedness, I think you meant.
