...wouldn't this bring the risk of internal conflict, particularly if the former Pope doesn't agree with the decisions his successor makes? "Look, I loved [Karol] Wojtyla," said Messori, referring to the former Pope's baptismal name. "But if he would have decided to resign, I would have continued to pray for him, but I would have obeyed his successor." (See pictures of Pope John Paul II taken by Gianni Giansanti...

...young Polish priest named Karol Wojtyla made the pilgrimage to a small town in Puglia to have his confession heard by Padre Pio, the mysterious Italian monk with the Christ-like stigmata wounds on his hands. It was that encounter - along with Wojtyla's belief that a prayer by the Capuchin monk had cured a friend's cancer in 1962 - that helps explain why Padre Pio was fast-tracked for sainthood once Wojtyla had risen to the papacy as John Paul II.

...doubt that Pope Benedict XVI made a pilgrimage Saturday to the birthplace of a saint. The only real question is when that sainthood will be made official. The date of birth, of course, we already know to be May 18, 1920, when Karol Wojtyla was born in a humble two-story home in the town of Wadowice, in the rolling countryside of southern Poland. He died 85 years later in Rome as the most widely beloved - and arguably most influential - pope of the past millennium. But exactly when the Catholic Church will officially recognize Pope John Paul...
