Pope Benedict XVI announced today that he is bypassing the traditional five year waiting period to begin the canonization process of Pope John Paul II. This happens on the 24th anniversary of his assassination attempt, and the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Also, it is confirmed that Archbishop Levada of San Francisco will head the CDF.

An American in charge of defending the doctrine? Yowsers, this new Pontiff is out there. How many American bishops can cite the doctrine, let alone defend it. Of course, if the guy has been dealing with heterodoxy and the culture of death in the Haight-Ashbury belly of the beast without being destroyed he must be rock solid. I thought it was illegal to be Catholic in San Francisco.
Will wonders never cease?
