On April 27, 2014, Pope Francis canonized Blessed John XXIII in Rome together with Blessed John Paul II, mentioning them as "two brave men, full of the parresia of the Holy Spirit", the goodness and mercy of God. Pope Francis says so in homily of the mass celebrated in the Cathedral of St. Peter in front of more than 500 thousand people, from all parts of the world.
