Could the Vatican consider Terri for Martyrdom/Blessed status?

Would be a nice thought.

In order to be an official martyr you have to die for the Faith. Official recognition of sainthood requires miraculous events after death.

Of course there is no doubt Terri is suffering a martyr's death and will be a saint in heaven with God.

Michael and friends won't be quite so fortunate.

I had actually thought of that. You and I think alike.

What purpose would that serve? Just asking.
