But Mother Theresa's not a Saint yet
She's been beatified (sounds horrific), but not canonised (also sounds painful) yet, if I remember correctly.

indeed she isn't
but if you pray enough to her and you get cured, then that's 'proof' that she's got enough pull up in heaven to be be moved along to the next step.

Get her past the home plate before putting another batter in the field.
