I will trust the Roman Catholic Church and its duly constituted authorities to determine which of the deceased ought to be regarded as saints. The process is known as canonization. I never imagined that you were a fan of Saint John Paul II. And I was right. If I were to say prayers involving St. John the Baptist, as a Catholic, I would be praying THROUGH him and not TO him.
Do any of your prayers include a plea to God, the Almighty, for the protection of Islam, as was JP II's?
As far as JP II's "Saint Factory", check this out:
