Pope Benedict XVI beatified Pope John Paul II before more than a million faithful in St. Peter's Square and surrounding streets Sunday, moving the beloved former pontiff one step closer to possible sainthood. The Vatican has decreed that Sister Marie Simon-Pierre's inexplicable healing was the miracle needed to beatify John Paul II.
