Yesterday’s News Today

On this day in 2003 Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II. Teresa was well known and respected during her lifetime for her humanitarian work among India’s poor but in order the be beatified by the catholic church you need to have at least one post mortem miracle ascribed to you, and this came in the disputed claim that an Indian woman’s tumour was healed by Teresa. The miracle was considered to be on quite shaky ground as the lady had been getting medical treatment at the time too but it was deemed good enough by the Vatican, possibly because of the pressure to fast-track their ‘spiritual celebrities’ to sainthood to make the Catholic church more relevant to the modern day as similar haste has been given to the beatification programs of John Paul II himself and the stigmatic Padre Pio.

FYI: they couldn’t use Mother Teresa’s famous appearance in a cinnamon bun as this happened before her death and Teresa had objected to the coffee shop where it was displayed profiteering from it:
