National Catholic Reporter—Pope approves new path to sainthood: heroic act of loving service:
VATICAN CITY–Pope Francis has approved a fourth pathway to possible sainthood — giving one’s life in a heroic act of loving service to others.
In a new apostolic letter, the pope approved new norms allowing for candidates to be considered for sainthood because of the heroic way they freely risked their lives and died prematurely because of “an extreme act of charity.”
The document, given “motu proprio” (on his own initiative) went into effect the same day of its publication July 11, with the title “Maiorem hac dilectionem,” which comes from the Gospel according to St. John (15:13): “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Archbishop Marcello Bartolucci, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Saints’ Causes, said the addition is meant “to promote heroic Christian testimony, (that has been) up to now without a specific process, precisely because it did not completely fit within the case of martyrdom or heroic virtues.”
For centuries, consideration for the sainthood process required that a Servant of God heroically lived a life of Christian virtues or had been martyred for the faith. The third, less common way, is called an equivalent or equipollent canonization: when there is evidence of strong devotion among the faithful to a holy man or woman, the pope can waive a lengthy formal canonical investigation and can authorize their veneration as saints.
While these three roads to sainthood remain unchanged, they were not adequate “for interpreting all possible cases” of holiness, the archbishop wrote in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, July 11.

SnyderTalk Comment:
I know that the Catholic Church (not all the people who claim to be Catholic) sees the pope as the intercessor of mankind, and they call him “holy father”.
That’s ridiculous. Yahweh is our Intercessor. He’s also the Holy Father. We don’t need a pope’s intervention to approach Him.
According to Yahweh, all of His faithful followers are saints, from the greatest to the least of us. Now the pope has seen fit to “approve a new path to sainthood”. That’s a great example of religion run amuck.
If the pope was a man of Yahweh, he wouldn’t be so foolish. I wish he would pay more attention to the shenanigans going on inside the Vatican right under his nose.
Stated another way, the pope has his hands full without encroaching on Yahweh’s prerogatives.
Should anyone have to tell him that? Obviously, the answer is yes.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)
Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.
We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name. We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
