The article also says this:

It (the miracle) must be the result of prayers asking the dead pope to intercede with God. Miracles are usually a physical healing that doctors are at a loss to explain.

Which is exactly what I said in my previous post.

Also, when CNN says "the nun prayed to John Paul II", one needs to keep in mind that theological exactitude may not necessarily be conveyed by their choice of words.

To summarize, the nun's prayers to JPII were asking his intercession (i.e. prayer) before God on her behalf. It's the same as if I asked you to pray for me. I'm asking you to intercede before God on my behalf.

Just because her prayers were for intercession does not negate the fact that she was praying to JPII, which you seem to agree with in the highlighted text above. Therefore I'm not sure why you chastised that other poster for: 1) quoting the story, and 2) for posting something you ultimately agree with, that the nun prayed to JPII.
