Despite news of illness of a French nun, whose formerly reported miracle cure from Parkinson's was attributed to Pope John Paul II, the late pontiff could be beatified as early as October 24, says Sydney's Catholic Communications. Quoting sources in Rome, the Archidocese has issued a report saying there is no delay in the process.
The whole beatification and canonisation process, in which leading medical experts advise the Vatican, is carried out in complete secret, the report said.
And as there was no date set for the process or announcement, according to the Vatican, there is no delay, it added.
If the French nun's case is problematic then investigators can put forward any one of the 271 other reported miracles attributed to John Paul II.
Sources in Rome believe 24 October is a possible date for the beatification, the report added.
