I don't think there will be another JP2 in our life time. Interesting (to me) side note. The former pastor at the church my wife attends gave me a rosary that was blessed by JP2 and was actually given to him by the Pope during his last public visit before he died. If he ever gets canonized, these would be considered a 2nd hand relic.
