As heard on the Hugh Hewitt Show
Hugh: Benedict the Sixteenth announced opening of the cause for Beatification of John Paul the Second. He is waiving the normal waiting period of five years – which means you can now become a saint quicker then you can be confirmed a federal judge.

I’m not sure canonization is constitutional??
I love Hugh Hewitt. We’ve got to get him back to the Church. He says that he was a “devout” Catholic for many years but became very disillusioned by the bishops. Then he read Luther and that was that. I understand the disillusionment with some bishops, but reading Luther put it all together for him? We have our work cut out for us but I still think there is hope for Hugh.
LOL!!!! That is priceless!!!!
*ba-da-bump-bump*
(little drum beat after Hewitt’s punch line)
The Catholic “litmus test for judges” cause for sainthood equivalent is the Devil’s Advocate (am I right?). Now wouldn’t that just be a purely fun job!
“Yes, I’ve uncovered Blessed Such-n-such once said ‘fooey’ to a liturgical dance ensemble.”
Did he really say Beautification?!??
Unfortunately, Teresa, our deceased Pope did away with such historic oddities as the position of Devil’s Advocate.
