As a long-lapsed Catholic, I'd forgotten how fun the Church can be. This story isn't just a great read, it's packed to the gills with amazing information about saints past, present, and future.  I especially enjoyed the chapters that describe bizarre saintly behavior such as stigmata, miracle healing, and raising people from the grave. The news about Kateri Tekakwitha getting the sainthood thumbs-up just this week is icing on the canonical cake.  Hooray for our first Native American saint, and hooray for Jake Finkbonner, the young boy Kateri miraculously saved--a mere three centuries after her death.
