Mother Teresa is Now Officially Saint Teresa

Plaid Pants2 · ‎03-14-2015

The world has a new Saint. I think that it's nice that Mother Teresa was made a Saint. I'm not Catholic, but I think that there can never be too many Saints.

What wonderful news to read first thing on a Sunday morning!

Glad it's official. What a wonderful woman, we should all emulate her behavior.

One of very few who was a saint on earth. I believe she is the second Saint Therese (there could be more)... Must be in the name...

I believe she is being called "St. Mother Teresa' since the RC faith has several prominent St. Teresa's, including the mystic St. Teresa of Avila from the 16 th century.

@maestra- I believe the Pope canonized her as "Blesssed Teresa of Kolkata (Calcutta)".

Yes, that's correct. But we also have St. Theresa 'the little flower' and St. Teresa of Avila. Wonderful news.

As a Catholic, I don't begrudge Mother Theresa sainthood.

I am still waiting for Fr. Solanus Casey's turn :-(

Mother Teresa was canonized as St. Teresa of Kolkata. She was already "Blessed'.

Beatification is part of the canonization process - she was bestowed "Blessed" as part of the path to sainthood.

Once declared a saint, she is no longer referred to as "Blessed". The Pope announced her as Blessed when he declared her as a saint because that was her status before final canonization.
