Very strange how some people get passed on for sainthood despite nothing special about them, but a humble bride of Christ is ignored. Synodal church is struggling.
How about Aquitis? He made one website. People love him because of his looks, theres nothing much known about him, his mother keeps pushing for his sainthood and what do we get art and statues with a boy in joggers and a laptop.
Compared to that here we have a nun who spent her entire life in Prayer and sacrifice. She would have more superiors and religious to testify about her life and holiness. Also, the former needed formaldehyde to help his decomposing body, but this nun was buried without anything special. Given the boy might be a Saint, but a poor nun like this is a better example to hold up to Catholics for holiness. I wish they wouldn't be so eager about millennials as saints, we need authentic heroic virtue. Today strange young ladies especially are being declared blessed. People who were murdered or died in an accident, with no special love for the Catholic faith. These people lower the bar for young people. We have saints, only they get ignored while others get promoted as saints. Not much miracles either with the newly declared saints.
The process of canonization is begun at the local level. If there is no cause for this holy woman's canonization it's because nobody has started it, it's not because of any decision at the Vatican.
Hi Thomas,
I'm so glad I found your two blogs/substacks!

Hey Tito! Good to see you!

Traditionally you would wait 50 years before initiating a cause for canonization if I remember correctly. Perhaps that is what the Bishop means.
