You apparently don’t know what is meant by being recognized as a saint.

The short answer is CASH...

"In his book “Merchants in the Temple,” Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi charged the congregation was among the most reluctant Vatican offices to cooperate with new transparency measures imposed as part of Francis’s project of Vatican reform, and asserted that the average cost of a sainthood cause was about $550,000.

"U.S. Catholic officials traditionally have used $250,000 as a benchmark for the cost of a cause from the initial investigation on a diocesan level, to a canonization Mass in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, though that cost can increase depending in part of how many people take part in the canonization ceremony and the logistics of organizing the event.

Key word is "initial".

Many saints are manufactured by forcing them through using multiple tries, when rejected at first.

God's standard is that every believer in Christ, who has entrusted themselves to Him alone for salvation, is at that moment a saint. The Apostle Peter and Apostle Paul address the members of the churches as saints.

What on earth possesses the same anti Catholics to post on every obviously Catholic post? If you really know anything about Catholics, you would know they agree with your quote about all members being saints, but it’s not the same thing as a canonized saint.

You sure haven’t seen me posting on every damn post about Billy Graham disparaging his religious beliefs, and I’m pretty damn tired of your (and some others) anti Catholic BS. And don’t make an attempt to deny it, you same handful post on every Catholic post that isn’t marked Caucus, you have that right, but that doesn’t make it proper.
