What would be the most recent and proven miracle ??
Roscommon getting into Division 1
Treasa was a Rossie deep down

Surely Roscommon actually staying in Division 1 was the most recent miracle?

Of course she is a Saint, not a god, so isn't omnipotent.  Hence Roscommon's championship form....

It is generally disturbing reading some of the comments on this thread.You could be forgiven for thinking Hitler instead of a Saintly nun,was the topic.

It is farcical,for anti Catholics even,to try to argue St Theresa of Calcutta (and I'm delighted to see death notices in the Irish News already pleading for her intercession) was any other than a holy and saintly woman who lived a blessed life.

Every human being,even dyed in the wool atheists,have doubts at times,and if she mixed with despots etc,well then Jesus did exactly the same.

You knew exactly the sort of comments the thread would generate, that's why you started it.

How could I predict comments from other posters.I was only expressing my happiness that a nun with strong links to Ireland North and South,was deservedly canonised.

That this precipitated such a venomous reaction is genuinely disturbing but is not my fault in any way shape or form.

Tony, Herod was fulfilling Scripture, as was Judas, FFS
Judas always gets a bad rap but without him the story would not have happened and we might all be Zoroastrian.

Well in interacting with despots she was only following the example of Jesus.If she diverted their dirty money into helping the poor fair play to her.

She wasn't fulfilling Scripture.

I agree with your sentiment but on previous experience you must have known it would generate the usual reaction from the usual suspects.

Although at the same time demonization is no reason to censor topics

Is she supposed to be a prophet?

Are you saying that the posts and links about letting people die without medical treatment and reject basic medical practices re hygiene and infection controls are venomous lies or are you accepting that they are true but that its venomous to point out the truth?

This needs a straight answer

According to The Bible, Tony, and indeed all Christians, are saints.

According to the Catholic Church, one must be canonised to become a Saint.
