Arguments about who should be canonized are even sillier than arguments about Halls of Fame, but that doesn't stop people from having them. Charley Pierce makes a couple of good points here. I agree that JPII absolutely had more to do with the end of the Cold War than did Ronald Reagan, and I likewise agree that JPII's papacy was marked by a clerical sex abuse scandal which may yet bring down the institution. One would think that the threshold for sainthood would be higher.
