✣ Mother Teresa is proclaimed a saint
What happened?
Applause erupted in St Peter’s Square as Pope Francis canonised Mother Teresa on Sunday. More than 100,000 pilgrims had gathered for the ceremony, including hundreds of members of the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded. Also in attendance were 1,500 homeless people from across Italy, who were treated to pizza paid for by Francis through the papal almoner. The canonisation followed the healing of a Brazilian man who had suffered several brain tumours.
