Is Mother Teresas canonization justified?
I have a great deal of difficulty in thinking of Mother Teresa as a saint. That might surprise a huge number of people and I will present my rationale here. We are all called to be saints. Some of us will be given that distinction while many of us, who lead good and godly lives, will not be named as saints. Although there are rigid standards that must be met in order for canonization, others adjust those standards according to the person or public opinion. I believe that two people have recently been canonized by society, even during their lives. Great myth mixed with reality grows as their stories are told and they tend to become bigger than life. I am thinking especially of Mother Teresa and John Paul II.
