It's all too quick ... from man to saint in 2 or 3 years! Sure, he was a fairly nice old guy who probably firmly believed in what he preached. But he should have to wait at least as long as Jeanne d'Arc before he becomes a saint. I don't think too many gays would like him to be a saint ... or women who wish to control their own bodies.
You have to do more, I believe, than stand firm for what you believe in. What you believe is just as, if not more, important. Do we rank Hitler as one of the great German leaders because he held firm to his twisted beliefs against impossible odds? Do we rank Maggie Thatcher with Churchill?
I am Catholic; I believe Sanithood is important. Saints intercede for the faithul with the BIG GUY himself! I wouldn't want an ultra-conservative interceding for me: not Saint John Paul, or, heaven forbid, St. Maggie.
