VATICAN - Sainthood approaches for John Paul II and John XXIII in double canonisation

  • 10 years ago
This Sunday 27th April, Pope Francis will hold an unprecedented ceremony at the Vatican - a double canonisation of two former popes. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are expected to attend the historic event in St Peter's Square, which will see John Paul II and John XXIII become saints. Our team in Rome looks at how the Catholic Church is getting its message across in the 21st century.
Programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Elise Duffau
