Members of the Catholic Church React to Pope John Paul II's Sainthood

Catholics around the world are still rejoicing on this Sunday, with news that Pope Francis has cleared Pope John Paul II for sainthood.

The Vatican recently announced that a second miracle has been attributed to the popular polish pontiff, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1978 until 2005.
???
The Vatican also said the late-Pope John the 23rd, who led the church from 1958 until 1963, would also be made a saint.
???
Pope John the 23rd is known for calling the second Vatican council, which enacted sweeping reforms to modernize the church.
???
We headed to St. Margaret Mary parish in Terre Haute to hear some local reaction to the Vatican's news:

"It shows that two very different people from two very different countries, one Poland, one Italy.? One who grew up in a very simple village, and the other who grew up in Poland and was persecuted, each led the life that God called them to.? Then, gave themselves over to the service of the people.? So, that means a great deal to me," said Father Rick Ginther of the St. Margaret Mary parish in Terre Haute.

John Paul II's progression to sainthood is the fastest in modern times.
???
Dates for both of the canonization ceremonies are expected to take place by the end of the year.
