Monsignor Slawomir Oder shows a monthly magazine to update the faithful on the status of the case to make Pope John Paul II a saint, during an interview with the Associated Press in Rome, Monday March 13, 2006. Oder, who is spearheading the saint-making case for Pope John Paul II said Monday an official inquiry would begin this week into the inexplicable cure of a young French nun suffering from Parkinson's disease was a miracle. The Vatican needs to confirm a miracle occurred after John Paul's April 2 death for the late pope to be beatified, the first step toward his possible canonization. (AP Photo/Plinio Lepri)
