John Paul II could be declared a saint

John Paul the Second could be declared a saint this year after a Vatican committee approved a second miracle attributed to the Polish pope's intercession.
The Congregation for the Causes of Saints ruled an inexplicable recovery on May 1, 2011, was due to the late Pope's intercession.
Pope Francis must now give his approval before a canonisation date is set.
Canonisation is the final step in the official process that declares a deceased person to be a saint.
