Well, I think Sainthood is given to those people who work out of their religious beliefs and are busy glorifying poverty and suffering (Example: Mother Teresa).

Well, I think Sainthood is given to those people who work out of their religious beliefs and are busy glorifying poverty and suffering (Example: Mother Teresa). Gates is a not a saint he is just a philanthropists and a good one at that.
- tptacek 13y agoIf Mother Teresa is the one modern venerated person you've heard of, I guess that would be a reasonable summary of the meaning of Catholic sainthood. I agree though with the underlying point, which is that "sainthood" is a political concept that isn't relevant to the work being done by the Gates Foundation.
