This is what all groups do. They try to hold up examples that show the good their organizations do, thus trying to gain more membership. Its nothing new and it doesn't mean that her actions in life should be judged on whether the Catholics believe it is a good thing to have more Catholics in the world.

Right!
I wouldn't think any less of good deeds done by a Pagan or a Satanist or an Atheist than of a Christian. It's how the people are remembered while they were alive, not the institution that glorifies them, or doesn't.

In the first place, who cares if she's made a saint? The important thing is what she did, and she obviously led an unselfish life and helped countless people.

When was the last time any of you picked up dying people out of ditches or washed the open wounds of people that had AIDS?

Nobody's perfect-Catholicism teaches that everyone is a sinner, including her, even the greatest saints were sinners. So what?

And what if she spent some of her money trying to promote Catholicism? What's wrong with that? It was her Catholic religion that taught her to do what she was doing in the first place..."when I was thirsty you gave me to drink, when I was hungry you fed me."

I know people that think she didn't try hard enough to convert people, because she seemed to be content at letting people remain Hindus or Muslims or whatever. You can't please everybody. Sainthood isn't about somebody being perfect-it's about someone trying harder than most people, and making a difference, doing something heroic. And she definitely did that. Whoever criticizes her, I can guaran-damn-tee you that they didn't do nearly as much to help the needy as she did.
