Canonisations of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II

Sunday morning religious news and current affairs programme, presented by Edward Stourton.

As Pope Francis prepares to make history by canonising Popes John XXIII and John Paul II in front of millions in Rome today, Edward Stourton talks to Cardinal Vincent Nichols about what this event means for the Catholic Church. We have live reports from William Crawley in Rome and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Adam Easton in Poland. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rome Correspondent, Alan Johnson, reports on the build up to this historic event in Vatican City and Trevor Barnes assesses the life of Pope John XXIII.

Also in the programme Rahul Tandon gives Edward Stourton an update on the on-going Indian Elections, the Church of England explains why it continues to invest in Wonga and Baroness Cox and lawyer Aina Khan discuss why Sharia Councils are unfairly treating Muslim women seeking divorce settlements.
