"It seems to me that the church's standards have been lowered or waived in this instance, but since it is the one who sets the rules and makes the decision, I certainly can't complain."

Could this be explained please. Is this a reference to the doubts that Juan Diego existed?

[Dog Gone]

Yes. The legendary character, if that is what he is, would certainly seem to qualify as a saint. It's just that there is no objective way to determine whether he truly existed, or so it appears.

But since religion relies on faith at least as much as proof, I'm not really troubled by that. It's more of an observation on my part than anything else.

Sure he existed... Juan/Don Diego De LaVega. You know, Zorro!
