    VATICAN – Pope Benedict XVI has gotten a big boost in his work for potential canonization due to attention-diverting incidents around the planet, sources say.

    “Every night, the Pope has prayed that something would happen that would take people’s minds off the fact he protected pedophile priests,” said the source. “And now, look around, it’s truly a miracle.”

    After several weeks of non-stop news regarding Catholic priests molesting children and the Catholic Church hiding the truth, there has been a literal explosion of big news around the world, including:

    “Our prayers have been answered,” said the source. “Now, people are already forgetting that Catholic Priests molested children and the Pope protected them.

    “Truly, Pope Benedict XVI is on his way to sainthood,” added the source. “Burying stories about pedophile priests and the Church protecting them is just miraculous.”
