Beatification of Someone

Please stop this nonsense. Someone is going through the process of beatification in Rome. The miracle that is supposed to have started this is far from confirmed: what is worse is that the supposed miracle comes from a Nun … someone whose psychology is probably already suspect in terms of something like this.

Still, they have done it now and the world will shortly see its first celebrity Saint, thus opening the door to the ghastly spectre of future Vatican TV showing programmes such as

  • Big Saint
  • Come Sainting
  • SingalongaSaint
  • The Saint Factor

All future Popes can probably expect to be elevated from now on.

Mugabe was invited and went to the ceremony too and that can’t be right can it?

The is perfect Church politics and nothing less. It has nothing to do with reality let alone spirituality.
