The seat of Roman Catholic power, the Vatican have made an announcement that the late Pope John Paul II and John XXIII will be made saints of the Roman Catholic Church, in an announcement made on Friday.
Here’s part of the announcement:
“The Supreme Pontiff approved… the canonization of Blessed John XXIII… and decided to call a consistory also concerning the canonization of Blessed John Paul II,” it said in a statement.
Although there is no definite date of canonization of the sainthood of both Pope but Pope Francis gave his formal approval to a second miracle attributed to John Paul II (1978-2005) — a condition for becoming a saint.
Meanwhile John XXIII (1958-1963), also known as “Good Pope John” for his kindly demeanor, only has one miracle to his name but the pope still approve the canonization in a rare move.
