The canonization of these saints further proves that the Vatican only cares about European religious. All but one of these folks are from Europe. What... Africa, South America, Asia, India, North America and most all of the Middle East aren't good enough?
Typical white European racism of the worst variety. If anyone else has read "Without Roots" this comes as no surprise.
I look foreword to the day when we elect a Pope from somewhere other that Eurpoe... like we used to do in the beginning. At this rate Christianity has regaled itself to rank of a European pagan religion, when in fact it comes from a dark skinned person (see Jesus).
Pax vobiscum
