SAINTED. SATANED. To become a saint doesn't one have to have performed at least one miracle?

The church investigates stories of great goodness and love and if the person being investigated meets all criteria he/she becomes a SAINT. What about the opposites in the world? The ones who are responsible for GREAT EVIL in the world? Ought they not be investigated too and acknowledged for it?

    The answer to the first part of your question is no. As to the second part of your question. The word “saint” comes from the Greek word "hagios" which means “consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural. Therefore, scripturally speaking, the “saints” are the body of Christ, Christians, the church. All Christians are considered saints. In Roman Catholic theology, the saints are in heaven. In the Bible, the saints are on earth. In Roman Catholic teaching, a person does not become a saint unless he/she is “beatified” or “canonized” by the Pope or prominent bishop. In the Bible, everyone who has received Jesus Christ by faith is a saint. The church, Roman Catholic or otherwise has nothing to do with being a saint. The ones who are responsible for GREAT EVIL in the world? They will be investigated by the powers that be here on earth. Most importantly, they will be investigated and judged by Almighty God because He is the final Judge. Our system of law here on earth is flawed. GOD's law isn't.

    Don't know much about Roman Catholicism. In reformed Christianity (Protestantism)  "saint" simply designates the member of a church. A believer.
