…. If any Catholic figure of the modern era did not require a special event in order to be better known, it\u2019s Mother Teresa – now St. Teresa of Calcutta.<\/p>\n

At the popular level, I suspect perhaps 80 percent or more of the people who may catch images of today\u2019s ceremony in St. Peter\u2019s Square, featuring Pope Francis reading the traditional proclamation declaring Mother Teresa a saint, will be puzzled by what they see – surprised, in fact, that this didn\u2019t happen a long time ago. The world, in other words, has hardly been sitting around waiting for the Vatican to reach a conclusion most people regard as blindingly obvious.<\/p>\n

Yet there is nevertheless a sense in which formally bestowing a halo on Mother Teresa matters, perhaps not so much in the traditional sense, but rather as a towering and permanent reminder of a key insight about the nature of the Catholic Church. Here it is, put as simply as possible: Office is fleeting, but holiness is forever. Power in Catholicism isn\u2019t ultimately about what role one holds, but how compelling a life one leads.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, twenty-fours before today\u2019s big event, my Crux colleague In\u00e9s San Mart\u00edn and I were at the Santa Marta, the residence on Vatican grounds where Pope Francis lives and where visiting VIPS reside, to see Cardinal Oswald Gracias of Mumbai, India, who\u2019s in town in part for the Mother Teresa canonization.<\/p>\n

Gracias said that as an Indian, he\u2019s struck by how important Mother Teresa remains as a national hero even today, 20 years after her death, and how deep her popularity is among even non-Christians – who, of course, are the vast majority in India, where the dominant religious tradition is Hinduism.<\/p>\n

Almost certainly, Gracias is today the most powerful Catholic cleric in India, the CEO of the country\u2019s largest archdiocese as well as the lone Asian on Pope Francis\u2019 council of nine cardinal advisers. He\u2019s essentially one of a handful of advisers who are at the table giving advice on every major decision this pope has to make.<\/p>\n

I asked Gracias, who\u2019s now almost 72, if he could think of a single priest or bishop in his lifetime who left a deeper imprint on India, who was better known or more influential, than Mother Teresa. \u201cThat\u2019s a hard question to answer,\u201d he said, smiling because he meant the exact opposite, and then said: \u201cBut the answer is no.\u201d …. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
