News: Pope Francis will Declare Mother Teresa of Calcutta a Saint

LoKoPaNdA

Quote:

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who devoted herself to helping the poor, will be canonized as a saint, after Pope Francis issued a decree attributing a second miracle to the founder of the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

The canonization is expected to occur in 2016; many expect it to take place in September, around the date of her death (and her official feast day).

There are some Mother Teresa ideas that are quite problematic though. Then again it is the Catholic church, so.....

Sorry, but how can this possibly be serious and justified? I'm sure the "miracle" can be explained in a more reasonable way.

To be a saint a miracle has to be attributed to you

I know that. But how can they just say that this miracle was definitively caused by her actions, and how are they justified in calling it a miracle at all if it can likely be explained more reasonably otherwise? (I'll have to read up on what the supposed "miracle" is, but I'm pretty confident it'll be something that can be explained with more rational logic)

The same can be said about every miracle by every other saint there is

Have you taken a look at the Bible? I don't think the church cares about teaching verified, rational facts.....
