As far as the Saint thing goes, I think it's a little premature too, but doesn't our History recall that many people were raised to Sainthood shortly following their death, and mainly because of a similar type of popularity?

*some were recognized as Saints while still living. One (among many examples) such man was St. Vincent Ferrer, another St. Francis - it is a LONG list.

Be aware that Ferrara is a nutball who is among those imagining that they are orthodox and the Magisterium heretical

See, I didn't know that. Well, that more than proves my point. St. Vincent Ferrer's life is AMAZING!

I don't know about that, BAC, I'm not gifted enough to know what his actual intentions are. He could just be mistaken, even if willfully so. Invincible ignorance is not just for us peasants here. I do think he's disgruntled though, and I do think he could use a nice big platter of humble pie.

Oh let's hear it for that Christian charity. How does talk like that fit into your "civilization of love" you're trying to build?
