Pope To Be Beatified, All Previous Saints Roll Their Eyes

Emboldened by Donald Trump's claiming pride at being exposed as a fraud/charlatan/liar/mercenary opportunist/huckster/snake oil salesman/idiot wrangler/etc..., child molesters are claiming that they have been vindicated in light of the Vatican's decision to beatify John Paul II.

"The Vatican decreed that Sister Marie Simon-Pierre's inexplicable cure from Parkinson's was the miracle needed to beatify John Paul. Her story will be highlighted at the all-night prayer vigil Saturday night ahead of Sunday's beatification Mass for John Paul."

Seems he's being fast-tracked to sainthood.  Apparently his suffering from Parkinson's disease is akin to having your eyes cut out, stoning, being shot by arrows, crucifixion, being burned at the stake and the like so Sister Marie's "miraculous cure" provided him with the other mandatory requirement for sainthood.  I don't know, it's just not as compelling as Joan of Arc's whole thing.  I'm thinking they are kinda cheapening the saint title.
