I respect him for what he did as an activist. He seemed to have a great deal of compassion for other human beings. If anything canonizing a man like that would, at least in my mind, be a step out of the dark ages for the Catholic church.</strong>

Is that why they want to canonize him, or is it just because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time?
