Just asking. When they were canonizable people or entities in the pre-modern periods of the catholic Church, saints were often mythical like St. Patrick and St. Christopher. The if they were truly amazing people of the past to emulate then it was for a circumstance of abuse, oppression, or a time when genocide was occuring, or a time when there was questionable violence and accepted injustice in the community.
Maybe it would be better to simply have concentrated on the historical review of the event and events of the time for objective value and personal judgment of communion because of a more enriching fellowship of ideal exchanges of subjects (then meaningless feats of 'overcoming injustice', like that of St. teresa.)
But there is that sense of mystical belonging from the old will and less indifference for truly being Good.
