Thousands of Polish pilgrims were among the multitudes in Saint Peter’s Square observing the canonization ceremony of their native son, the late Saint John Paul II.  Pope Francis referred to the Polish prelate as “the Pope of the family” and his predecessor Saint John XXIII as “the Pope of openness to the spirit” as both were canonized.  With 800,000 people in attendance, most could not get anywhere near the altar and watched the ceremony on large-screen TVs in the Square and on surrounding streets.  With retired pontiff Benedict XVI also there, it was the first time two popes held a ceremony to make saints out of two predecessors.

Peacekeepers have escorted more than 1,200 Muslims out of the Central African Republic’s (CAR) capital of Bangui, as looting went on around them.  Revenge attacks against Muslims have become a major component of the civil conflict since the Muslim Seleka rebels took power from the Christian majority last year and abdicated this year.  The Seleka aren’t done just yet – dozens of people were killed in Seleka attacks over the weekend, including three workers for the medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Chung Hong-won, to take responsibility for the ferry disaster that left 302 people dead or missing.  But Park also asked Chung to stay in his post until the government completes its recovery operations.  But Park is also coming under intense criticism for the government’s perceived slow and initially unfeeling response – a public posting on the President’s official website called on her to resign, and attracted hundreds of thousands of views in just a few hours.

Johnson in 1966.
