Madam, - "Achieving sainthood is harder than ever, now that the Vatican has announced new procedures for beatification" (Seven Days, February 23rd). Really? When was it ever easy for a married woman not prematurely widowed to achieve Vatican sainthood? Numbers show that it is nearly as difficult as being ordained!
The good news is that it's God who makes saints (and priests) and that, unlike the Vatican, God doesn't have favourites.
- Yours, etc,
