Times finds 'complex emotions' surround Blessed Kateri's canonization
CWN - July 25, 2012
A New York Times article on Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha's upcoming canonization focuses on the "complex emotions" that surround it. 
The Times finds that the reaction is "complex, particularly among American Indians. Some are proud, because Kateri was a Mohawk. Some doubt the truthfulness of her story as told by the church. Some hope the canonization will ease tensions between Catholic and traditional American Indians. And some are euphoric that the Church is about to name its first American Indian saint, even if they wish it had happened sooner."
