Total nonsense from fanatics, but then again His Holiness is very conservative and full of surprises. That being said what I think the chances are....... -10 to 0%

I read that as "beautification" and thought "that's a bit late".

Part of the process is to find miracles that can be attributed to the candidate.

Does anybody have any to report?

I had a Dominican driver yield to let me through an intersection yesterday but I don't think that can easily be attributed to Balaguer.

You know Pope John Paul II abolished the office of Devil's Advocate leading to beatification inflation so maybe Balaguer has a shot.

"Balaguer has a shot."

Indeed. He has a very good shot.

Did someone mention miracles? Hey, there were plenty of miracles, more than you could count. Heck, Balaguer practically invented miracles. He had a pocket full of 'em.

I understand Balaguer could turn water into whine at the drop of a dime. He was also able to make people vanish into thin air. Imagine. He had a real knack for that.

And funny? That guy could have you rolling in the aisles. Well, your head at least, but still, very very funny guy.

If anyone deserves beatification it's our boy Balaguer, the happy, helpful and humorous miracle worker. God loves him and so do we.

That's too bad. I know folks that would serve the Evil One pro bono.
