From the article:

Recently, with construction of a new altar underway, the sisters of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles "decided the rightful place of our holy foundress was in the Church."

According to the Bible if you are baptized and follow the word of GOD you ARE a "Saint"; no need for the appointment by the pope.

Hmm. When the Church of England split off from the Catholic Church they adopted all of the catholic saints. I wonder if they accepted the ones since or made there own.

By the way, want to really anger an Episcopalian priest? Just remind him or her that their religion was started by an adulterer so he could divorce his wife (Cathrine of Aragon) and marry his whore (Anne Boleyn).
