The long journey of faith and conversion

Sainthood

There's an interesting article in Slate about the proposed canonization of John Paul II. The most important thing to learn from it, I think, is that saints were not perfect--they were humans aspiring to perfection through faith in God. To call a saint perfect takes away from what they are supposed to be for us as Catholics--examples of ordinary people with extraordinary faith.
