The unfortunate fact is that the Vatican is "hell" bent on the quick canonization of Mother Teresa - not that she was not a good person. The Vatican seems to have some sort of "preferential" list. The founder of the controversial Opus Dei - a Spanish priest who died in 1975 - has already been declared a saint by the Vatican. Meanwhile, our good people like Padre Agnel and Blessed Fr. J. Vaz have to wait their turn - if and when that happens.
