We live in the real world where time costs and institutions need financial support. I would prefer to have the money spent and all stones turned up to make sure we dont have to un canonize someone. <br />This is the type of arguments constantly made by the secular media. The saints who have been members of religous organisations are the glory of the church and have totally dedicated their lives to God and in many cases left institutions behind to carry on the good work. I think Judas was concerned because of the money 'wasted' on perfuming Jesus but the lord rebuked him.maryrosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-2123957108777422812009-07-07T00:05:32.699+01:002009-07-07T00:05:32.699+01:00Norah,

By whom and how was the figure arrived at?<br /><br />Sources for this comment please father.<br /><br />It is not surprising that most nominations for sainthood come from religious orders. They are the ones with the numbers to do the work of collecting, reading the documents etc This of course doesn't mean that there are no members of the laity in heaven; they just haven't been officially cannonised.Norahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-63400099567694698042009-07-06T22:20:18.566+01:002009-07-06T22:20:18.566+01:00Alexi, there is a certain sensitivity about that, ...Alexi, there is a certain sensitivity about that, lets not go there.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-8161755950492184552009-07-06T21:52:04.536+01:002009-07-06T21:52:04.536+01:00Has anyone noticed that of the 19 world reknowned ...Has anyone noticed that of the 19 world reknowned cases that Dr Ambrosi is currently promoting only two are from the laity, and one of those was an Emperor! All the others are Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals and a Pope. Cardinal Newman, considered to be the champion of the laity, must be smiling from heaven.Anna McLeodnoreply@blogger.com
