This is the 21st century right?

How then to explain that the plans to make the late Pope a saint of some sort hinge on testimony that he somehow cured a French nun of Parkinson's after he was dead? How do we know this?

One night before going to bed she wrote his name in an illegible script asking for mercy and the next morning her penmanship had improved considerably.

Give me a break. I don't like to scoff at other people's beliefs but this is just downright silly. If you want to make him a bloody saint then make him a bloody saint but don't make shit up to try and justify it.
