I don’t think Mother Theresa has been elevated to the level of sainthood (yet), so, etc.
It’s up to God who’s mortal remains remain incorruptible; in other words, not all Saints’ bodies remain incorrupt.
Mother Theresa is worthy of veneration though, in my opinion, for the reasons you stated. I honestly can’t think of a better modern witness for Christ (of course some disagree). We’ll have to wait and see if the Church agrees though; I believe now she’s a “blessed” which means she can be venerated in the region where she lived and died. Universal veneration has to wait until she’s elevated to sainthood, I believe (perhaps if I’m wrong some one will correct me here)
That is my understanding as well.
I have been struggling with a way to say this, and hope I get it right, because I don't want to imply that incorruptability isn't a wonderful thing. It is.
The fact that they are incorrupt doesn't mean that the person was any more "saintly" as I understand it. It is just one more way that their saintliness can manifest. There are plenty of saints that became dust like the rest of us, but they are no less saintly.
To me, incorruptibility is just one more thing to think about and consider when one prays or meditates on the lives of people who dedicated their lives to God.
Ok...Thanks for the info!
