LOL! This isn't the first time I've seen this. It's funny because it's largely true.

Great cartoon, LOTI! Being a new convert, I'm troubled by this seeming lowering of the bar and taking out the miracles prerequisite. My understanding from most of what I read during the years leading up to my crossing of the Tiber was that the Church had very specific criteria for canonizing and usually went through a long and careful process before formally declaring someong a saint.

Yes, all of us are saints in Christ. Those that receive a formal title (St. Paul, St. Thomas Aquinas, etc.) received it because of extraordinary reasons, usually long after their lifetimes.

But then again, I'm just a "dumb" convert (tongue in cheek).
