A 2nd/3rd cousin (Bishop Vincent Macauley) is a Servant of God. My next door neighbor is a distant relative of Father Flanagan of Boy Town fame. Fr. Flanagan is going through the process. It cost several hundred thousand dollars to go through the process. Bishop Macauley’s diocese is in Uganda and very poor. Fr. Flanagan has lots of large benefactors in the Omaha area.

A priest once told me that’s why you see few diocesan priests as saints. The Religious Orders have more money in their coiffeurs to pay for the process to canonize a saint, a very-expensive endeavor.
