Why is Mother Teresa considered a saint?
Mother Teresa was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in 2016, a process that recognizes her as having lived a life of holiness and virtue. This decision was based on her years of selfless service to the poor and two recognized miracles attributed to her intercession, a requirement for sainthood. Her impact and legacy in humanitarian work raised her to this status within the Catholic Church.
