Saint Jim: rendering the sacred profane For the Vatican, the process of canonization did not begin until five years after a candidates death. This rule has traditionally been used to allow for a more objective look at a persons life and achievements. In 1999, under pressure from the Mother Theresa fraud, the pope did waive the five-year rule, allowing the canonization process to begin. Harper and the financial oligarchy has shortened it to a week and billed the taxpayers for the self-serving process to boot. In the Vatican, the faithful may assemble in St. Peter’s Square in their thousands for the ceremony. In Canada, the state funeral of the Conservative Party is restricted to 900 VIPs, is by invitation only, and the spectacle is broadcast to the nation by the three communications monopolies.
