It's all over the news here - Catholics are on tenterhooks - it's anticipated that Pope Benny is about to finally acquiesce to the bleating of Aussie Catholics and give them their own home-grown saint. Presumably it is quicker and takes less energy to telepath prays to a local saint, than those busy foreign ones.

Um,
"her". Apparently she's accused of curing a woman of cancer in the 60s, fifth-something years after her own death. Talk about a long bow. Not sure what the other one was. Maybe there was only one "confirmed", which is why the decision is up to Benny's discretion.
