SocraticGadfly: Even child molesters need a patron saint?

Even child molesters need a patron saint?

Well, in just hours, their "man," Pope John Paul II, will be on the road to that distinction.

Wikipedia is in in the frenzy enough to have a new page just about Karol Wojtyla's beautification and (presumed) canonization, written by some Brit, I presume, using "s" for "z" in "canonization."

And, you'll find nothing about JPII's hiding, coddling, etc. of child molesters in his church's priesthood in Wikipedia's hagiography.

And, what "icon" will we have? Instead of a St. Christopher medal, a JPII phallus?
