Unholy row past the pearly gates?

Now that Pope Francis has canonised his Predecessors John Paul II and John XXIII it’s confirmed they have passed through the pearly gates.

While on Earth the two saints had a different vision for the future of the Church, if not quite poles apart. So as a result is an unholy row raging in heaven between the two pontiffs with some unlucky angel acting as referee or arbitrator? I think it was an episode of Monty Python that featured a debate between an atheist and a bishop as to whether God existed; Finally the chairman decided the matter should be decided in the wrestling ring. God won by a submission. Hopefully no such contest has taken place in a celestial wrestling ring between the two saints mentioned.
