Miracle under scrutiny in John Paul beatification (AP)

FILE - In this Nov. 30, 2004 file photo, then Pope John Paul II gives his blessing to late father Marcial Maciel, founder of Christ's Legionaries, during a special audience the pontiff granted to about four thousand participants of the Regnum Christi movement, at the Vatican. John Paul's successor Pope Benedict XVI won praise for moving against the Legionaries of Christ, the conservative order that was once hailed by his predecessor, but fell into scandal after it revealed that its founder had fathered a child and had molested seminarians. The Vatican began investigating allegations against the Rev. Marcial Maciel of Mexico in the 1950s, but it wasn't until 2006, a year into Benedict's pontificate, that the Vatican instructed Maciel to lead a 'reserved life of prayer and penance' in response to the abuse allegations - effectively removing him from power. The Vatican is facing one of its gravest crises of modern times as sex abuse scandals move ever closer to Pope Benedict XVI - threatening not only his own legacy but also that of his revered predecessor. Benedict took a much harder stance on sex abuse than John Paul II when he assumed the papacy five years ago, disciplining a senior cleric championed by the Polish pontiff and defrocking others under a new policy of zero tolerance. But the impression remains of a woefully slowfooted church and of a pope who bears responsibility for allowing pedophile priests to keep their parishes. In an editorial Friday, the National Catholic Reporter in the United States called on Benedict to answer questions about his role 'in the mismanagement' of sex abuse cases, not only in the current crisis but during his tenure in the 1980s as archbishop of Munich and then as head of the Vatican's doctrinal and disciplinary office.(AP Photo/Plinio Lepri, File)AP - The Vatican this week marks the fifth anniversary of Pope John Paul II's death amid some doubts that the miracle needed for his saint-making cause will stand up to scrutiny and questions about his record combatting pedophile priests.
