“Should we wait two hundred years to canonize Mother Theresa so it looks like we’re not rushing into it?” I don’t know if we need to wait 200 years to canonize Mother Teresa, but I see no benefit to doing it within the next few years. Moving quickly to canonize someone who has died relatively recently gives an incentive to people like Christopher Hitchens to sell books attacking Mother Teresa’s character. The Vatican should wait a least a couple of decades. (What’s the rush, anyway?)
