Pope Francis conferred sainthood on two Indians and four Italians on Sunday. He is praising their "creative" commitment to helping the poor. Francis added to the roster of Catholic saints a Keralan mystic nun, an Indian priest and social reformer, the former Bishop of Vicenza, and three members of the Fanciscan order. Pope Francis spoke to crowds in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican "They responded with extraordinary creativity to the commandment of love God and neighbor. Their preference for the smallest and poorest was the reflection and measure of there unconditional love of God" He chose his own papal name after the saint of Assisi. who symbolizes austerity and love for the poor. After Pope Francis's speech applause rang out after he said the Italian saints, between them founded refuges for pilgrims, street urchins and the sick, could inspire citizens today. The often decades-long process of considering a person for sainthood must normally wait until they have been for five years, and have been credited with bringing about two miracles. A pope can bypass the five-year rule who had in started the process of sanctifying Mother Teresa of Calcutta within five years after her death in 1997.
This makes me feel like around the world everyone actually cares about other religions. It's a big controversy about how not everyone believes in the same religion. This shows that any religion will make the news and no one will publicly protest stating it is not their religion and they should not be hearing about this. Religion is usually the most talked about controversy other than racism. This makes me feel like there is a small amount of peace in this world when it comes to something so serious. this makes me think our world is actually trying to get better.
