The process of becoming a saint in the Catholic Church is one that takes decades, even centuries, to finalize. However, two recent popes' journey to sainthood has been accelerated and will reach fruition today in Rome.
For the first time, two living popes will be in attendance at a canonization of former popes. On Sunday John XXIII and John Paul II will be canonized by the Vatican, which marks a rare historical event for all Catholics in the world watching via television, Internet and social media.
