Contrary to expectations, Pope Francis did not announce during his visit to Albania on 21 September 2014 when the Vatican intends to resume Mother Teresa’s canonization process, which has stalled since the death of her great friend Pope John Paul II.

Whatever reasons those who object to Mother Teresa’s canonization may have, they pale into insignificance when weighed against her unique contribution to the Catholic Church.  

Few outstanding individuals, religious or otherwise, in the history of mankind have done so much to sanctify human dignity like Albanian-born Mother Teresa throughout her missionary life that began in India in 1929 and ended in 1997.
