I have a question for the RC's out there. Do any of you know of any modern (1900's and up) Catholic Saints, or really Holy living people? Of course I know of Mother Theresa, who could possibly be a Saint (in my eyes, allthough I am EO, I know she is a Saint to you all) and also I believe the three who saw the Virgin Mary at Fatima are considered Saints, I think...? But I am asking of other's. Anyone who is alive that is real Holy like we have in the EOC? Any modern Saints like we have in the EOC? If you know of any, some sort of story of their life would be helpful. Anyone do anything great or beyond comprehension?
Reason I ask is...when Pope John Paul II died, I picked up a magazine about him, and in it were some people who were declared Saints during his reign as Pope. To be honest, the magazine totally played these people down, because the reasons why they were Saints (as stated by the magazine) wasn't all that Saintly. Or at least not something that would consider a person a Saint in the EOC. One I remember was a Saint because (he/she don't remember) survived the holocaust. And another one was a queen that converted to the RCC. I mean there wasn't anything special that I read, or at least wasn't said by the magazine.
I don't mean to offend, I am just curious. When I read of the life or death of an EO Saint, I am left saying "wow". Even the modern ones.
