medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear John,
The short answer as to why it took so long to advance
some people to sainthood is that it takes pressure, a
lot of it, to get things moving. If there's no
religious order, mass popular appeal/impetus,
political situation, etc. to move things along,
potential canonized saints languish. It was recently
suggested (on this list, I think) that Jeanne d'Arc
was canonized (almost) as a result of WWI.
