Some Jewish groups are pointing out a flaw in Isabella.

And Christopher Hitchens thought Mother Teresa's taking money from Charles Keating should disqualify her from canonization. The Church will take the input of Jewish groups into consideration, I'm sure.

Some things should not be gotten over.

You'll understand, then, when Catholics, after hearing the same complaints over and over and over and over, simply move on and apply the criteria it has always used for sainthood.

The Jews are not going to influence the canonization of Isabella anymore than they are going to influence the canonization of Pius IX.

Fair resolution. I don't want anyone but Catholic leaders to define Church policy. That doesn't mean that they can't listen to the opinions of others.

If that is the final decision, fine. I just ask that they way the evidence before making he woman a saint.

There si a fundamental difference betweent eh two cases.
Pius IX is under assault by the revisionist left. Some leftist Jews are joining them. The problem is that most of the allegations are false. Pius IX condemned the Holocaust and helped save thousands of Jews and other victims of Nazi terror.

Isabella I stole property and had Jews expelled.
One is the victim of the left and the other a victimizer.
