[The Great RJ]

Charles might have been a good guy, but was he on par with say Mother Teresa? Somehow I feel this beatification has some political overtones. I'm concerned that the Pope's current condition has caused the Vatican to operate on autopilot and I think beatifying anyone who comes along cheapens the meaning of sainthood. Somewhat like Rabelais' famed St. Fiacre of Brie.

I read the Pope has canonized over 400 people, more than his four predecessors put together.

Mother Teresa is a worthy candidate for sainthood. But the last Emperor of the Austro-Hungrian Empire? A country both the UK and the US were at war with at the time?

Not all saints are created equal. Some saints are greater than others.
