Pope John Paul II is to beatify Karl I

If there's proper basis, then fine. But you don't understand. All of these beatifications under the reign of JP II will, someday, have to be revoked and reconsidered. The process is out of control, without checks and balances. And repentant, wise, holy and Saintly people are mixed in with those who may not be. They will have to start over, in future, re-reform the system, and take it all seriously - which they have not done under JP II.

I understand, completely, that you completely disagree.

The only ones that make me a little nervous are the mass canonizations (often involving martyrs). I wonder sometimes if they truly take into account all of the facts surrounding these events and if the people in question really died for Christ or just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In cases like this, there were doubtless martyrs among them, but when so many are canonized en masse it does make me a tad uncomfortable.
