Pope John Paul's Beatification ....
... and impending Canonization. Somehow, this whole ritual strikes me as decidedly odd. A French nun claims he cured Parkinson's Disease from the grave and John Paul gets his first ticket punched. Now, they scour the Earth looking for a second "miracle."
Color me cynical, skeptical or whatever. Somehow, however, this is a bit much even for a person born and raised Catholic (though I've recovered )

Covering up for pervs is a fail IMO. I think they are trying to raise morale from it all.

They were jealous of the royal welfare recipient wedding. The Vatican can't stand to be upstaged when it comes to grandiose displays of decadence, Jesus wouldn't stand for it.

Yawn.
Superstition must be a dominant gene.

Is there a purpose for this thread other than to bash religion, or Catholics, or both?

I think bashing religion is a worthwhile cause, FYI.
