I'm under the impression that the canonization process used to be more selective, until Pope John Paul II lowered the evidence bar and started mass producing saints.
Saint inflation.
The easy out for a weakening religious authority, but soon people will have to be taking wheel barrows of saints to get their miracle of five fishes and two loaves.
But what happens if we measure saints per capita? After all, the 20th century's population explosion presumably had a radical effect on saint density.
