Pope John Paul II as a white dove is released in honor of his repeated calls for peace by Roman youths, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on April 10, 2003. The pope has approved a miracle attributed to Pope John Paul II's intercession and set May 1 as the date for the beloved pontiff to be beatified. Pope Benedict XVI declared in a decree Friday, Jan. 14, 2011, that the cure of a French nun who suffered from Parkinson's disease was miraculous, the last step needed for the beatification.
