I thought it was a large army with a lot of BIG guns.

Jamey - The disks were used by the front portion of the army thrown to de-capitate mangle and general mayem. What about the question at hand? +Peace+

What answer are you looking for? When the Catholic claim to have canonized the Bible? How they consider it's application to the Bible? Or the never ending need to "canonize" people?

Dear Jamey, Why do you have to make everything so hard and nit-pik it to death? A person becomes a saint in the eyes of the Church because of the good in their life and by the example they've left for us to copy. Were you never star of the week in kindergarden? Or patroller of the month? You've probably never been decorated with a purple heart either- given for actions above and beyond the call of duty. To be cannonized you must lead a veeeeeeeery good life or done something stupendous and it must be known how you've lived it or done it. Try reading a Lives of the Saints book and you will see a vast difference between them and us. They're saints, we're not. Cannonization is done only after much investigation and research is done. It is a title of respect given only to those who have earned it. Ellen
