Saints will always be controversial

Rev Fr Sahaya Selvam deserves a pat on the back for his Lifestyle feature on the family synod on October 26 this year.

However, some of his articles cast doubts on the heroic virtues of the Vatican Council II Fathers: Pope John XXII, Pope John Paul II, Blessed Pope Paul VI and Pope Benedict XVI.

He refers to John XXII and John Paul II as controversial popes in his April 26, 2014 article.

Yes, the crisis of the moment is the crisis of saints as one wise man said, and in the eyes of the sceptics, saints will always be controversial figures.
