Hey I am not the one that blasphemed why dont you go pick on soothsayer.

By the way we all know Terri committed no sins after she was incapacitated and probably she led a good life before, but more is needed to be canonised.

Now, in general, beatification requires an unblemished biography—with ample indication of the individual’s devotion to the Church—plus one posthumous miracle. Canonization requires a second miracle. Although the process is not even supposed to begin until at least five years after a person’s death, the pope can waive that requirement at his discretion, as he did with Mother Teresa.
Most “miracles” are miraculous cures, and in such cases, the Church requires that a board of five doctors unanimously agree that no other explanation exists.

Moreover, the cure must be complete and instantaneous; if the illness was cancer, a waiting period of 10 years is required to be sure the disease hasn’t merely gone into remission. Of course, proving that a particular saint was responsible for a miracle (having interceded with God on someone’s behalf) is not such a scientific undertaking.

Now these arent my rules they are the Churches. Now if you and other Freepers wish to call her a Saint , thats fine by me. Every day many people have their Feeding tubes removed for one reason or another, are they any less Saints?

Terri made us all better. I think it was miraculous how she got us all praying our heads off and crying our eyes out. She made us feel closer to Heavenly Father. We felt His love for her. Terri was the closest to being perfect as you can get. No malice. No hatred. No meanness. She was perfect and they killed her.
