Thousands of pilgrims gather as Vatican declares Popes John Paul II & John XXIII saints

Vatican City, April 27 (ANI): Tens of thousands of pilgrims tried to move past barricades around the Vatican in the early hours of Sunday morning in an effort to be in pole position for the canonisation ceremony that declared Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII saints. It is the first time two popes have been canonised at the same time. Giant screens were set up in nearby streets and elsewhere in the city for those unable to get into the square. Thousands of Polish pilgrims crammed into streets around the Vatican after having spent the night dancing and singing. The event will be attended by Heads of States, members of royal families and government officials from around the world. There will also be one special guest, Emeritus Pope Benedict. Apr 27, 2014

New Delhi, April 25 (ANI): A religion course based on the "Theology of Harry Potter" is now being offered by a private liberal arts college in Kentucky in order to assist students to develop an understanding of theological concepts such as God, sin, and theodicy.

Rowling's 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,' 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.
