Pope approves four new saints - Yahoo! News UK: "Benedict has pledged to slow the rate at which new sainthoods and beatifications are declared. His predecessor John Paul II declared 482 saints and 1,338 beatifications during his 26-year papacy.
Benedict has also decided to delegate the duty of performing beatification ceremonies, restricting himself to celebrating only full canonisations."
