NOT CANONIZED YET
From Catholic News Service:
Vatican officials have dismissed press claims that Pope John Paul II could be beatified as early as October after receiving "popular acclamation" as a saint from Catholics worldwide.
"This is complete fiction; although it's possible the process could be speeded up, such dates are totally imaginary," said Jesuit Father Hieronim Fokcinski, an official of the Congregation for Saints' Causes.
