at0m1c Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 In their effort to evangelise China, did the Jesuits make Confucius a Saint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessalonian Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Where is your evidence to support such a claim. First of all they do not have the authority to declare saints. But it should not bother us either that the Church recognizes the good in some philosophies and theologies as all men have a desire for God implanted in their hearts that causes them to come to some level of truth. The Budhists I know are some of the gentelest people I know. Does this mean Budha was a saint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
