Catholics: Was Mother Teresa eventually canonised as a Saint?

Question

One of the greatest of humanity's heroes I believe, to have formed a foundation to bring people off the streets of India to find dignity in death for the homeless and dying, to feed the starving and to cloth the naked. Unless we have been to india or seen similar conditions, it is very hard to imagine the work needed. I once made a passing comment about her, and was told off by a Buddhist ( not even Christian! ) that if I want to joke or criticise her work, i should first roll up my sleeves and go hands on first before being a backseat driver... I totally shut up coz it was so true. sigh..**shame**

Answer 1

Not yet: Beatification allows a person to be honored by a particular group or region. In order to beatify a candidate, it must be shown that the person is responsible for a posthumous miracle. Martyrs, those who died for their religious cause, can be beatified without evidence of a miracle. On October 20th, 2003, Mother Teresa was beatified. She will now be known as Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata.

In order for the candidate to be considered a saint, there must be proof of a second posthumous miracle. If there is, the person is canonized.

This is still in the works.

Answer 2

I've considered joining her order: The Missionaries of Charity. She isn't yet a saint, but blessed. John Paul II started the canonization process early for her. Usually the process can't even start until the person has been dead about 15 years. But she was an amazing person, and one that I look up to.

Answer 3

Not Yet!

I suppose the Cult has to raise more funds for her medals and statues.
Many people gave many dollars for medicines etc. to her.
While alive her hospital sent over seven million US Dollars to the poop instead!
Moma T admitted publicly that she never tried to convert people- she just let them die as they were, Hindu, or whatever.


A Dilemma
Articles of " The Council of Trent " - held in 1546, and then reaffirmed at
" The Vatican Council II " - held in 1963 - state that, without question, ANYONE who believes
that one can be saved without The Roman Catholic Church is AUTOMATICALLY anathema!
That is, CONDEMNED TO ETERNAL HELL ! ~ CURSED !

This is the doll the Vatican will soon Canonize a Saint.

Answer 4

We must try and save people who believe in God, including people like Mother Teresa.

I know there are many nice people who believe in God, and they wouldn’t intentionally harm anyone. I suspect they would be just as nice if they didn’t believe in God, it’s just how their biological model works for them.

The real evil amongst us, are the vast majority of religious followers and believers who have clearly shown over time to be the major instigators of wars, violence, abuse, greed and practically everything evil on our planet.

We must stop innocent young lives, especially from birth, from being sucked into this evil religious trap. Humanity deserves at least an effort being made in this direction rather than just watching religion and the so-called do goody goody followers corrupting our world with evil.

Answer 5

Nope, and she probably won't get canonized. She was photographed praying in front of a Buddha statue. This is a sin. The Catholic Church probably won't canonize her.

Answer 6

She did a lot of works, but denied the true Christ and the simplicity of salvation.

Answer 7

She has not been canonized yet but the process has been started.
