[Theoden]

The human man who decides whether or not someone is a saint, has the power of the keys, period. If your not Catholic, I guess it won't "denigrate your religion", so it should not bother you.

It doesn't denigrate my religion (I was brought up Catholic). It assumes too much power and authority for mere mortals who should stick to glorifying God instead of trying to glorify men. Men may be deserving of wholesale love and respect, but not of reverence; reverence belongs to God.
