Papal canonisation: Popes John Paul II and John XXIII declared saints by Pope Francis in historic ceremony - Europe - World - The Independent
What is the accounting on this? Except for the problem of sexual abuse by priests, which, of course, the Catholic Church leadership should have done a lot more about to stop, I cannot see a problem with the celebration of these two Popes. Francis is a Pope I greatly admire. Too bad many of the other hundreds of Popes were not more like him. Luther probably would have not been listened to if we had had more Popes like Francis.
