Could you give scripture reference to sanctioning "canonized saints". I don't remember reading where the apostles taught that. They considered all believers saints.

Why should that matter? She's currently a blessed, not yet a saint anyway, but she brought Jesus to the poor through her works. If you read about good (saintly) Catholics like Mother Teresa, maybe you wouldn't excoriate the beliefs of the Catholics so much.

It matters because the concept of "canonized saint" is not scriptural. Do you not understand that the apostles called all believers saints?
