A licence to be very odd

What weird times we live in if the Catholic Church is going to make a saint out of a young lad; a rather bossy religious mania case; who died at the age of 15 less than 20 years ago.
    Bits of his remains go on world tours! And there’s a souvenir industry. And his body is on display in a glass-fronted coffin in Assisi with 3-D printed replicas of his face and hands. Which a lot of the townsfolk, and fans of St. Francis, find terribly mediaeval.
