"Pope John Paul II not saint worthy" by Maureen Dowd

I was asked to add a prayer  ( i.e., a prayer upon the canonization of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II ) to the power point for this weekend's liturgies, and I had trouble doing it.   It was not trouble of a mechanical nature - it was simple enough to add a few slides to the power point - rather I had philosophical trouble primarily because I do not envision John Paul II canonization material.  Maureen Dowd explains my feelings better than I could so I refer you to Section D of today's Times Union (Timesunion.com).   When I recite this prayer in church on Sunday, it will be to St. John XXIII.   I would certainly pray to my mother before I would pray to this Pope.
