should mother teresa be a saint or is mass media pushing the issue?

Answer 1

She's a saint. "The dark night of the soul" that she experienced is even further proof of the fact.

Answer 2

Mother Teresa is probably already a saint.

Saints are people in heaven or on their way to heaven. All Christians dead and alive are saints.

The Catholic Church selects some of the most extraordinary examples, does in-depth research, and canonizes them.

"By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God's grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors."

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

I think she's already a saint.

And even if she isn't yet, she is and will always be a saint to those whose lives she had touched.
