Please, that is not true. We are all sinners. Here are references for the process for Catholic sainthood. It takes years and years and has three steps to it.

I’m not talking about Catholic sainthood. I’m talking about Christian sainthood.

Although I think in the case of Blessed Mother Teresia of Calcutta, it was a few short years after she had passed on.

Even during the funeral Blessed John Paul II, I remember there were chants for him to be declared a saint. Do you remember that?

An add-on to post 15, the Church did put her on an early fast track, because of the holy life she lived.
