They'll drop the idea like a hot potato if the heat is turned up high enough. They abandoned the idea of beatifying Pius XII when the going got rough.

JPII is really into this beatification stuff. Of course, if they beatify Pius IX, I imagine that sanctifies the whole infallibility business too. Somewhat oddly, in the area of central Wisconsin I grew up in there were 4 Catholic High Schools. Newman, which I attended, named after Lord Acton's co-conspirator in the anti-infallibility rump faction; Pacelli, named after Pius XII, who has his own beatification controversy; Assumption, named after one of the 2 official invocations of papal infallibility; and Columbus. I don't know how Columbus fits in, I don't think he was ever considered particularly saintly, even before things got revisionist on him. Marshfield, WI isn't the first place I'd go looking for Italians, either. Cheers, Dan.
