"There are more than 2,200 dossiers pending, some of which have been on file for decades, even centuries, says the BBC's David Willey in Rome. Pope Benedict XVI's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, beatified more people than all his predecessors put together. In his 27-year pontificate he beatified more than 1,338 people and canonised 482." I never understood why Mr.?Ms. Potato head has never been beatified. (thanks Maria)
