Making Saints by Kenneth Woodward
From inside the Vatican, the book that became a modern classic on sainthood in the Catholic Church.Working from church documents, Kenneth Woodward shows how saint-makers decide who is worthy of the church's highest honor. He describes the investigations into lives of candidates, explains how claims for miracles are approved or rejected, and reveals the role politics -- papal and secular -- plays in the ultimate decision. From his examination of such controversial candidates as Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador and Edith Stein, a Jewish philosopher who became a nun and was gassed at Auschwitz, to his insights into the changes Pope John Paul I has instituted, Woodward opens the door on a 2,000-year-old tradition.
