Mother Teresa’s yet to get sainthood, but the first cathedral dedicated to her has opened its doors at Baruipur, 30 km south of Kolkata. It was inaugurated on 23 August, and later, Bishop Salvadore Lobo of the Baruipur diocese said that Mother Teresa’s canonisation will happen in good time. “We know she’s a saint and when the time comes and God wants, things will be done for her canonisation. Thousands of miracles have been attributed to Mother Teresa, but the Church hasn’t accepted them as they don’t fulfill all the criteria and characteristics of a true miracle,” says Bishop Lobo, who headed the tribunal that scrutinised and confirmed the miracle that led to the Mother’s beatification, making her ‘Blessed Teresa of Kolkata’.
