A:

This was a miracle attributed to Pope John Paul II after his death, not while he was still pope. Pope John Paul had himself died of Parkinson's disease, and a young French nun prayed to him to cure her of the same disease. One morning two months after John Paul died, she woke up feeling completely, inexplicably cured. This has been criticised as not a proven cure: i) Parkinson's disease takes years and could return; ii) only an autopsy can prove whether Sister Marie Simon-Pierre really suffered from Parkinson's or from another neurological disease which has similar symptoms as Parkinson's but which can be cured. It is also reported that Sister Marie Simon-Pierre subsequently had a relapse. Nevertheless his beatification will stand. In fact, although there is no credible second miracle, Pope Francis decided to proceed to the canonisation of Pope John Paul II in April 2014 without the normal requirement for a further miracle.
