Pope Francis proclaimed two of his predecessors, Popes John XXIII and John Paul II as saints of the Catholic Church on Sunday (April 27) at a ceremony in Saint Peter's Square attended by hundreds of thousands of faithful from around the world. The canonisation of two former popes on the same day was unprecedented in the history of the Church. Hundreds of thousands of people packed into the squares and streets of the Vatican to watch the ceremony. The crowd was so large that it stretched back along all of Via della Conciliazione, the half kilometre-long, broad boulevard that starts at the Tiber River, where even some of the bridges were packed with pilgrims. The Mass, which began under a light rain, was also attended by former Pope Benedict, who on February 28, 2013 became the first pontiff in 600 years to step down. Benedict walked with a cane and was dressed in white vestments. It was only the second time Benedict, 87, who is living in near-isolation in the Vatican, attended a Church ritual. His attendance gave the ceremony a somewhat surreal atmosphere created by the presence of the reigning pope, a retired pope and two dead popes buried in the basilica behind the altar. A plethora of other dignitaries were also in attendance, ranging from the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to the Spanish King and Queen and the Irish prime minister. "We declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enrol them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole Church," Francis said in his formal proclamation in Latin about 30 minutes into the solemn service. Applause and cheers went up among the huge crowd as many fixed their gaze on the huge tapestries of the two popes which were hung from the facade of St. Peter's Basilica.

Huge crowds gathered in Vatican City to see a historic ceremony where two popes - John Paul II and John XXIII - were declared saints. A Mass co-celebrated by Pope Francis and his predecessor Benedict was watched by roughly one million pilgrims and a vast TV and radio audience. Nearly 100 foreign delegations are attending, including royal dignitaries and heads of state and government. It is the first time two popes have been canonised at the same time. Correspondents say the move is being seen as an attempt to unite conservative and reformist camps within the Roman Catholic Church. In his sermon, Pope Francis paid tribute to the two new saints as "men of courage". "They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th Century," he said. "They lived through the tragic events of that century, but they were not overwhelmed by them. For them, God was more powerful." Special bus, train and boat services ferried many thousands of pilgrims to Rome for the two-hour ceremony, which started at 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT). Some had bagged places to sleep overnight as close as possible to St Peter's Square, hoping to be among the first in when it opened to the public. Giant screens were set up in nearby streets and elsewhere in the city for those unable to get into the square. "We've been counting down the days. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said one pilgrim from Poland, John Paul II's home country. "We're already hoarse from singing," he told AFP. The Vatican confirmed on Saturday that 87-year-old Benedict XVI - now officially titled Pope Emeritus - would make a rare public appearance alongside his successor. Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign for 600 years when he quit for health reasons a year ago. Papal politics The process of saint-making is usually long and very costly. But John Paul II, whose 26-year reign ended in 2005, has been fast-tracked to sainthood in just nine years. Many among the huge crowds that gathered as he lay dying cried out "santo subito", which means "sainthood now". By contrast Italian-born John XXIII, known as the Good Pope after his 1958-63 papacy, had his promotion to full sainthood decided suddenly and very recently by Pope Francis. The BBC's David Willey in Rome says there was a political dimension to this. By canonising both John XXIII - the pope who set off the reform movement - and John Paul II - the pope who applied the brakes - Francis has skilfully deflected any possible criticism that he could be taking sides.

Pope Francis declared Popes John XXIII and John Paul II saints before some 800,000 people on Sunday in an unprecedented ceremony made even more historic by the presence of emeritus Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square. Never before have a reigning pope and a retired pope celebrated Mass together in public, much less at an event honoring two of their most famous predecessors. Benedict's presence was a reflection of the balancing act that Francis envisioned when he decided to canonize John and John Paul together, showing the unity of the Catholic Church by honoring popes beloved by conservatives and progressives alike. Francis made that point clear in his homily, praising both new saints for their work associated with the Second Vatican Council, the groundbreaking meetings that brought the 2,000-year-old institution into modern times. John convened the council in 1962 while John Paul helped ensure its more conservative implementation and interpretation. "John XXIII and John Paul II cooperated with the Holy Spirit in renewing and updating the church in keeping with her pristine features, those features which the saints have given her throughout the centuries," Francis said. He praised John for having allowed himself to be led by God to call the council, and he hailed John Paul's focus on the family -- an issue Francis has taken up himself. "They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century," Francis said. "They lived through the tragic events of that century, but they were not overwhelmed by them." It was Benedict who put John Paul on the fast-track for possible sainthood just weeks after he died in 2005, responding to the chants of "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Now!" that erupted during his funeral Mass. His canonization is now the fastest in modern times. Francis then tweaked the Vatican's own saint-making rules, deciding that John could be made a saint alongside him without the necessary second miracle usually required for canonization. Francis took a deep breath and paused for a moment before reciting the saint-making formula in Latin at the start of the ceremony, as if moved by the history he was about to make in canonizing two popes at once. He said that after deliberating, consulting and praying for divine assistance "we declare and define that Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole church." Applause broke out from a crowd that stretched from St. Peter's to the Tiber River and beyond. "This is such a historic moment," marveled the Rev. Victor Perez, who brought a group from the John Paul High School in Houston, Texas and waited for nearly 12 hours to get near St. Peter's. "John Paul was so impactful on the church. He completed the work of Vatican II. Today honors the last 50 years of what God has done in the church." In John Paul's native Poland, bells rang out as soon as Francis pronounced the two men saints. "He changed Poland and he changed us with his teaching and with his visits here," an emotional Maria Jurek said as she watched the proceedings on giant TV screens at a sanctuary dedicated to John Paul in Krakow. In the Philippines, where John Paul in 1995 drew the largest ever crowd for a papal Mass at 4 million, Filipinos watched the canonization on TV and joined local celebrations, including a suburban Manila parade of children dressed like the pope. Yet the atmosphere in St. Peter's seemed somber and subdued -- perhaps due to the chilly gray skies and cumulative lack of sleep of many of the pilgrims who camped out on the streets near the Vatican or stayed up praying at the all-night vigils organized in churches around town. It was a far different scene than the rollicking party atmosphere of John Paul's May 2011 beatification, when bands of young people sang, danced and cheered before, during and after the Mass. Spirits did pick up after the service when Francis drove through the crowds in his open-topped car all the way down to the Tiber River, giving many people their first -- and only -- close-up glimpse of him. The Vatican estimated that 800,000 people watched the Mass in Rome, with about 500,000 in the square and nearby streets and the rest watching on TV screens that had been set up in piazzas around town. By the time the ceremony began, Via della Conciliazione, the main boulevard leading from the square, nearby streets and the bridges across the Tiber were packed. Polish pilgrims carrying the red and white flags of John Paul's beloved homeland had been among the first to push into the square well before sunrise, as the human chains of neon-vested civil protection workers trying to maintain order finally gave up and let them in. "Four popes in one ceremony is a fantastic thing to see and to be at, because it is history being written in our sight," marveled one of the visiting Poles, Dawid Halfar.

Popes John XXIII and John Paul II have been made saints in a historic double canonisation ceremony at Vatican City attended by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. Pope Francis read the formal proclamation at a canonisation mass which was also attended by former Pope Benedict XVI, who resigned last year. Benedict XVI, who last year became the first pontiff to resign since the Middle Ages, wore his papal white cassock and mitre and smiled and waved to the crowd. The historic event has been billed by Italian media as "four popes Sunday" and is the first time that a living pope and a surviving former pope co-celebrate mass. The crowd was so large it stretched back along all of Via della Conciliazione, the half kilometre-long, broad boulevard that starts at the Tiber River. Even its bridges were packed with faithful. The overwhelming majority in the crowd were Poles who had travelled from their home country and immigrant communities as far afield as Chicago and Sydney to watch their most famous native son, John Paul, become a saint. Hundreds of red and white Polish flags filled the square and the streets surrounding the Vatican, which were strewn with sleeping bags, backpacks and folding chairs. It was one of the biggest crowds since John Paul's beatification in 2011. John XXIII, who reigned from 1958 to 1963 and called the modernising Second Vatican Council, and John Paul II, the Pole who reigned for nearly 27 years, played leading roles on the world stage. Francis's own huge popularity has added extra appeal to the unprecedented ceremony to raise two former leaders of the church to sainthood on the same day. But while both were widely revered, there has also been criticism that John Paul II, who only died nine years ago, has been canonised too quickly.

VATICAN CITY -- Hundreds of thousands of people filled St. Peter's Square Sunday for a historic day of four popes, with Francis and Benedict XVI honoring their predecessors John XXIII and John Paul II and declaring them saints in the first ever canonization of two pontiffs. Polish pilgrims carrying the red and white flags of John Paul's beloved homeland were among the first to push into the square well before sunrise, as the human chains of neon-vested civil protection workers trying to maintain order finally gave up and let them in. ADVERTISEMENT Four popes in one ceremony is a fantastic thing to see and to be at, because it is history being written in our sight," marveled one of the visiting Poles, David Halfar. "It is wonderful to be a part in this and to live all of this." Most of those who arrived first at St. Peter's had camped out overnight nearby on air mattresses and sleeping pads. Others hadn't slept at all and took part in the all-night prayer vigils hosted at a dozen churches in downtown Rome. The Vatican on Saturday ended weeks of speculation and confirmed that retired Pope Benedict, 87, would indeed participate in the canonization. The move sets a remarkable precedent for the 2,000-year-old Catholic Church, which has never seen a reigning and retired pope celebrating a public Mass together. Benedict had promised to remain "hidden from the world" after resigning last year, but Francis has coaxed him out of retirement and urged him to take part in the public life of the church. Catholics for having convened the Second Vatican Council. The meetings brought the church into the modern era by allowing Mass to be celebrated in local languages rather than Latin and by encouraging greater dialogue with people of other faiths, particularly Jews. During his quarter-century papacy from 1978-2005, John Paul helped topple communism through his support of Poland's Solidarity movement. His globe-trotting papacy and launch of the wildly popular World Youth Days invigorated a new generation of Catholics, while his defense of core church teaching heartened conservatives after the turbulent 1960s. "John Paul was our pope," said Therese Andjoua, a 49-year-old nurse who traveled from Libreville, Gabon with some 300 other pilgrims to attend. She sported a traditional African dress bearing the images of the two new saints. "In 1982 he came to Gabon and when he arrived he kissed the ground and told us to `Get up, go forward and be not afraid,"' she recalled as she rested against a pallet of water bottles. "When we heard he was going to be canonized, we got up." Cientos de miles de fieles llenan la plaza de San Pedro del Vaticano para asistir a la ceremonia de canonización de Juan XXIII y Juan Pablo II, la primera en que dos pontífices subirán a los altares simultáneamente y que presencian y coofician otros dos: Francisco, el Papa en ejercicio, y Benedicto XVI, emérito tras su renuncia en 2013. Banderas, muchas de ellas de Polonia, cuna de Karol Wojtila, rosarios, imágenes, estampas y todo tipo de parafernalia religiosa colorean la plaza donde ha comenzado a las 10.00 (hora peninsular española) un oficio dirigido por Bergoglio y Ratzinger junto con 150 cardenales, 1.000 obispos y unos 6.000 sacerdotes. Cerca de las seis de la mañana se han abierto los accesos a la plaza de San Pedro, poblada apenas una hora después por cientos de miles de fieles, pese a las colas para pasar por los detectores de metales instaladas en los accesos. Un total de 10.000 agentes de las fuerzas del orden, con 800 unidades policiales, 250 unidades de bomberos y 2.600 unidades de protección civil, junto a 2.430 unidades de refuerzo garantizan el orden y la seguridad en Roma y asisten a los peregrinos, apoyados por 23.000 voluntarios, que han repartido botellas de agua y algunas mantas para los que han hecho noche en la calle. Han sido muchos los que no han logrado hacerse un hueco en la plaza, agolpados en la Via de la Conciliazione, que da acceso al Vaticano, o en las calles aledañas. Pueden seguir la ceremonia en las pantallas instaladas en la Via, en el Castel Sant'Angelo o en otras plazas de Roma. El Papa emérito Benedicto XVI concelebra junto al Papa en ejercicio, Francisco, la multitudinaria ceremonia.

Crowds of around a million gather in Rome to witness historic canonisation in St Peter's Square. Pope Francis has proclaimed two of his predecessors, Popes John XXIII and John Paul II, as saints of the Roman Catholic Church at a ceremony in St Peter's Square. The open-air event was watched by up to a million people at the Vatican and on giant screens positioned around Rome, while millions more watched on television around the world. At the beginning of the canonisation ceremony, Pope Francis greeted and embraced Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, his predecessor, who has looked increasingly tired and frail since his resignation last year. It is the first time in the history of the Catholic Church that two living Popes have presided over the canonisation of two of their predecessors. "We declare and define as saints the blessed John XXIII and John Paul II," Francis said in a Latin prayer from an altar in front of St Peter's Basilica.

Gimme gimme sell your souls
I skin and strip you bold(ly)
My revenue ain't yours
All means my way, I'm mighty
I clutch what's mine, yours sevenfold
I leave you in the cold
Got all my schemes in place
You stifle in my maze
All you shysters
Seek shelter on the last day
While you laugh loud, disclaiming
As your dire end will come/dawn on you
Ah you..!
Possessed, in your mask, and a dirty heart
Unrest in ye must've been the devil in all of us
The saints are marching again
And harvest souls
Taking every single one
The saints march again
And harmony
Is here, ye can go testify
Don?t you dream you?re ever safe
I ll get you in your grave
Go molest your heirs with my
sleight of hand attorneys - I
Profit at your dear expense
Cash in, perform my prance
Relinquish and lose what you

In this cold dark place
Where confusion lay
Trying to keep me from
Your holy face
You will lift me up
Withdraw despair and doubt
Where our visions blurred
Let Your heart be heard
Verse 2
With clean hands pure heart
Your people stand for love
In all we say and do
May our lives speak truth

In love we are Yours forever
As we live, to love this world and sing

Your word is truth and it’s life
