the Pope's desire for the speedy canonisation of Mother Theresa. He has waived the normal 50-year wait for the process of beatification, and rushed this one through, once again putting his mark on the Church's proceedings, because of his personal admiration. Yet the beatification process for Pope John XXIII, who did so much to bring the Church into the modern world, and to break down the barriers between Catholicism and Protestantism, not to mention other religions, has been stalled, because this Pope detests everything
John stood for, and has spent much of his pontificate trying to roll
back the Vatican II reforms. It's very personal, and another manifestation of the Pope's bloody-mindedness. Oh yes, just for the record, I'm Catholic.
