The Vatican names seven new saints
Fresh nominations include a Native American Christian for the first
time.

Pope Benedict XVI has named seven new saints, including for the first
time a Native American, praising their "heroic courage" in a year when
the Catholic Church is seeking to counter the rising tide of
secularism in the West.
Kateri Tekakwitha, informally known as "Lily of the Mohawks" and a
symbol of hope for American Indians for centuries, was canonised in a
lavish ceremony in St Peter's Square that followed her beatification
in 1980 by the late Pope John Paul II.
Under a bright autumn sun, the pope delivered a homily praising all
seven new saints, saying they "lived their lives in total consecration
to God and in generous service to their brothers".
Tens of thousands of people, including American Indians, gathered on
the square outside St Peter's Basilica which was decked with portraits
of those being canonised.
It seemed as if Pedro Calungsod, a 17th century Filipino teenage
martyr, drew the biggest crowd of all the saints, with Rome's sizeable
Filipino expat community turning out in flag-waving droves to welcome
the country's second saint.
"We are proud to be Filipinos," said one of about 5,000 Filipino
pilgrims who were accompanying the Philippines' Roman Catholic Church
leaders to the ceremony, where Calungsod was made a patron saint for
young people.
The other new saints include a French missionary to Madagascar, a
German migrant to the United States who took care of lepers and a
Spanish nun who campaigned for women's rights.

Vatican watchers said the choice of the saints now was linked to the
Roman Catholic Church's efforts to highlight the need for a "new
evangelisation".
The canonisations come during a synod of 262 bishops from around the
world, trying to revive Christianity in places where it's fallen by
the wayside.
Several of the new saints were missionaries, making clear the pope
hopes their example - even though they lived hundreds of years ago -
will be relevant today as the Catholic Church tries to hold on to its
faithful.
It is a tough task as the Vatican faces competition from evangelical
churches in Africa and Latin America, increasing secularisation in the
West and disenchantment due to the clerical sex abuse scandal in
Europe and beyond.
Tekakwitha, who was born in 1656 to an Algonquin mother and a Mohawk
father, was converted by Jesuit missionaries as a child. After
surviving smallpox and being orphaned, she earned a following for her
deep spiritualism before dying at just 24.
Another well-known figure from North America who was canonised is
German-born Franciscan nun Maria Anna Cope who was born in 1838 and
became known as the "Mother Marianne of Molokai" because she looked
after lepers on the island of Molokai in the Hawaii archipelago.
A French Jesuit, Jacques Berthieu, who was executed in 1896 in
Madagascar by rebels from the Menalamba movement, was also canonised.
The missionary refused to renounce his faith and is being considered
the first saint of Madagascar, where he lived for 21 years.
A German lay woman, Maria Schaeffer, who was from the pope's German
home state of Bavaria, was also rewarded.
Schaeffer, who died in 1925, was badly burnt after falling into
boiling water and spent the rest of her life bedridden. She is
credited with spreading the word of God in local villages.
An Italian priest, Giovanni Battista Piamarta, who in the late 19th
century devoted his life to helping young people during the industrial
revolution and founded a religious congregation, was also canonised.
The seventh new saint, Spanish nun Maria del Carmen, also founded a
congregation and worked to better the lot of poor women in the 19th
century, defending their social rights and helping their children's
education.
The new canonisations bring to 44 the number of saints named by the
pope since the start of his pontificate in 2005.
Catholic saints have to have two miracles to their names, which have
to be certified by the Vatican in a years-long procedure.
