Today, Sister Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception was canonized. She is the first officially recognized female saint from India. Please disregard the VOA News article’s inaccurate headline saying the pope “created” India’s first female saint. Obviously, God created her. And the Church’s canonization process discovers that a person is in heaven, then adds them to the official list (or “canon”) of saints that we know are there. The canonization process doesn’t put them in heaven or “create” saints. (The media rarely get religion right.)
