The Pope in Flames?

October 16, 2007 (WPVI) -- A flood of people are going online as word about a fiery apparition, that many believe is the late Pope John Paul II, makes its way around the globe.

The pictures were first shown on Vatican TV, and then throughout the day Monday in Italy. The story was shown on 6abc during Good Morning America early Tuesday.
