Interview With Blessed John Paul's Postulator

As we prepare for the canonisation of Blessed John Paul II, Zenit has published an interview with the Postulator of the Pontiff's Cause, Mgr Oder.  Here is the link, and it is worth reading.

Among the interesting pieces of information we discover that Blessed John Paul corresponded with St Pio of Pietrelcina for a period of time; that John Paul was a mystic, though the Postulator cannot identify exact mystical experiences in the Pontiff's life; and it seems the rumours of the pope's desire to go to Medjugorje are actually true.
