“Huh?”

I give you extra credit for succinctness!
Unfortunately, I must take away points for lucidity.

Still, you have enough points left over to pass this semester. Congratulations!!!

:-)

Okay, I was raised Baptist and I don't get the whole saint thing.

One cannot declare oneself to be a saint. As far as I know, God has not spoken directly to anyone but Moses (and that is doubtful).

In the cases of sainthood, it was always a man who declared someone a saint. What can a man know? He is only human.

I just don't get it and I don't get the concept of popes either.
