There are over 10,000 Saints established in the Catholic religion starting from 100 A.D. Today, the Pope and Vatican choose Saints. However, before 1983, saints were chosen by public acclaim, proving worthiness through a true democracy. Now, candidates are brought before a board and their life long achievements are evaluated. If he or she is deemed worth by the board, the Pope proclaims the candidate venerable.

I agree. this is a pretty well thought out blog. I never knew there were so many saints and the fact that at one point they were chosen by the public. Thats very interesting.
Thats really amazing that are so many saints out there. I also think its really cool that they used to be choosen by the public.
i dont think saitns should be chossen by the public. they should be chossen by qualified people who know what they are doing. otherwise i could become a saint..
