Revisions to the canonization process in 1983 ensured we will see more saints in the future. John Paul II eliminated the office of Promoter of the Faith, or, as it’s more commonly known, the Devil’s Advocate, a canon lawyer tasked with arguing against a person’s possible canonization. Consequently, John Paul II canonized more saints than the popes from the previous 500 years combined.

The boomers turned sainthood into a participation trophy lmao.

I mean, he beatified the Ustase bishop, Alojzije Stepinac, and wanted to canonize him, so he set the bar so low it includes nazis (Bededict nor Francis did not continued the process though).
