**I like Pope Francis because he's not such a stickler for church dogma or custom, but seems to be more interested in practicing the essence of Christianity than flexing the Church's dogmatic muscles. He's back in the
news again, with some of that old time religion nonsense.
Pope Francis says there is now enough evidence to elevate Mother Teresa into a "saint" of the Catholic church. That evidence comes from a couple of "healings" attributed to her intercession. Aside from the speciousness of the evidence, the promotion of this woman to a semi-supernatural status, means that others will now turn to her in desperate cases of illness, some of them refusing more reliable medical attention.
I wrote several blog entries about her a few years back, that may be of interest now that Mother T is back in the news. A link to one of them is in the "Featured Post" listing at the top right of the home page of this blog. You can also search at upper left "Mother Teresa" to see the other entries.
