There is an entire process I was listening to yesterday on the Catholic Channel on XM Radio. I don't fully understand it all, but rest assured this is something that tremendous thought has been put into over the 2,000 years of the Catholic Church's existence. It sounded to me like it was less about what we would define as an actual "miracle," i.e. a supernatural act, but more about someone recovering from a situation in which they had tremendously low chances of recovering after Mother Theresa prayed on their behalf. We have all heard of stories of people making miraculous recoveries from illnesses that no one thought they would recover from. I think that's more in line with what we're talking about here.

But by all means, if you're demanding video evidence of her walking on water or something similar, continue to evoke Hitchens, etc.

If being a Saint involves a process of being judged and declared by men, then it means you're not actually a Saint.

They woman's own husband and doctor have said the miracle didn't occur. Before you go off and sound like a condescending prick maybe you should do just a tiny bit more research.

And to further ruin your argument, they bent the 2,000 year old rules to get her in faster and lower the sainthood bar. Nothing says everything is on the up and up like breaking your own rules to hurry up and force a win.
