Mother Teresa wasn’t a mother, and according to Arjun from Canada, she’s not a saint either! We’re so confused. Was she even a nun? Is she still alive and living in a bungalow with Elvis, Princess Diana and Lord Lucan? Now THERE’s a reality show we wish Channel 4 would broadcast…
Anyway, as our minds wander, Arjun explains:
Just wanted to point out to you that Mother Teresa has not been canonized as a saint yet – she’s been beatified, which means she has the title “Blessed”, but isn’t a full saint!
It’s not really certain who the next saint will be. The Next Saint – now there’s a good reality show!
A good reality show (though not as good as my suggestion), but an even better game to play RIGHT NOW! Go to the comments and tell us who you think should be canonised – and because about 80% of you are bound to want to bow down in front of St Stephen Fry, we’ll allow you to nominate candidates who are still alive. Give your reasons, and we’ll send off the five best suggestions to the Vatican next week.

We don’t need to nominate Stephen Fry. He’s already the second coming of Jesus.

I reckon they should make Sean Connery a saint. Not only can he currently boast to Roger Moore that he was a better Bond, he would then be able to goad him with taunts that he really IS the Saint.
Failing that, Lorraine Kelly, because she’s lovely.

I nominate Piers Morgan for sainthood on the basis saints are a) dead and b) not on my telly ever.
