Who Canonized Mother Teresa?
Mother Teresa was a saint… literally. The Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun was a missionary who founded the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, an organization dedicated to helping the poor. The charity opened up various centers that helped the elderly and the disabled. So naturally, religious people assumed that it was Pope John Paul II who canonized her in the 1990s. But she died in 1997 and was not actually canonized until 2016 by Pope Francis.
