I find the argument that Pope John Paul II is elevating people to sainthood too rapidly actually amusing.

Understanding the life Mother Teresa lived, the comfort she provided to the poorest of the poor, her complete faith that "God would provide" and her resolute devotion to our Lord, why would her elevation to sainthood be more valid if more time passed between her departure from this earth to her ultimate beatification?

I doubt anyone could argue that she did not live the life of a saint.

God bless our Holy Father,

Reminds me of the story of Pius XI, who waved the miracle reguirement on Thomas More. Asked about this, he answered--and this was the 1930s--I want everyone to know what is expected of them in such times.
