- I thank God on a daily basis for the Catholic Church, that has done such incredible good in the world that it is now the greatest charitable organization the world has ever seen. More people receive education, food, water, medical care and pastoral counseling from the Church than from any other source or institution.
In addition, the Church continues to teach the truth of Christ in season and out of season and will continue to do so until the end of the world.
Every violent, totalitarian dictatorship that tried to destroy the Church - in the 20th century, German Nazism and Russian Communism - has found itself consigned to the garbage heap of history.
In the end there will be Christ and his Church, and outside of it there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. - Reply to this comment
- You who spew venom and hate about God and the Catholic Church, do not know what you are talking about.

- The lives of the saints inspire us to strive to live lives that are worthy of the gospel of Christ. Christ commanded us to take up our cross and follow him, and 2,000 years later we still do, even in the face of growing ignorance and rejection from a world that is quickly sinking into an inhuman atheism and a hatred for Christ and his One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. May the saints pray for us and intercede for us.

- May our new Saint Kateri and all the Saints pray for us and especially intercede with the Most High in behalf of all the virulent and rabid anti-religious, anti-Catholic, and anti-human commentators who are so vilely venting here about Kateri's Canonization. These attacks are unwarranted and as pathetic as anything can get. Please get a life--a new life in Christ Jesus and by the blessing of all the truly great and enlightened souls whose holy and exemplary lives should raise us all up and not tear us down like soul-less savage beasts. You are pitiful. God bless you and heal you.

- What an insult to a people? This is the institution that tried to wipe out native americans and replaced them with slaves. This terrorist cult went so far as to canonize Saint D'Youvile in the 1990s in Montreal where she used to sell Black and Indian slaves on behalf of the catholic church... Now both the slave master and the genocide victim are canonized by the same insane cult. What a joke!!
This may just be an attempt to turn the world's attention from the plight of millions of kids that this cult has abused in the last century when it was no longer busy dealing with native Americans' resistance to their hegemony....
This is bad joke and american indians should reject such a move. - Reply to this comment
- Seems to me that the Vatican is trying to make a positive and popular move.

- These women are heroes, they don't need validation from the catholic church. The catholics can take their sainthood and shove it. So what does it mean to be given sainthood? How does that change a person's life once their already dead? Heads up catholics and protestants, there is no longer a need for religion, that's why it is disappearing. Too many bad religious people... and news travels fast in cyber space. Problem is, we don't see anything Christian about Christianity anymore. Churches are demanding that the sheeple vote Republican, the antithesis of Jesus who was a liberal and a socialist, read the NT, it's in there. Let's be honest, the catholic bishops are trying to find a way to make more money and drum up business because there is nothing religious or Christian about their business organization.

- I don't understand the celebration of this native American sainthood bestowed by the most detestable enemy that Native Americans ever had: The Holy Roman Catholic Church. For centuries, the Church murdered, pillaged and committed near genocide against the native peoples of North America. The church's legacy of repression and cruelty meted to to the tribes that had the misfortune of coming into contact with "Mother Church" is legendary. A more proper response by the ancestors of the victims of the Catholic Church would be to repudiate the so-called sainthood with contempt.
