CBS News: Mother Teresa Declared a Saint

‘St. Teresa stood just five feet tall, but as a voice for the poor who often go unseen, she made an impact that could be seen across the world’

DICKERSON: "We turn now for a moment from the negativity of our presidential race to an event that has brought multitudes together in celebration. At the Vatican this morning, Mother Teresa was declared a saint and a mass for 120,000 people in St. Peter’s Square. Pope Francis praised the Albanian-born nun, who died 19 years ago, for dedicating her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Indian slums, calling on world leaders to end the crimes of poverty they themselves created. St. Teresa stood just five feet tall, but as a voice for the poor who often go unseen, she made an impact that could be seen across the world."
