Sainthood
Why has she not been considered for Canonization in the Catholic Church? Maximilian Kolbe was elevated to Sainthood for the same kind of act. His elevation was not without controversy. I see nothing in Élise Rivet's entry of a controversial nature. At the time of his consideration, it was felt that Kolbe was not killed out of hatred of the faith, but as the result of his act of Christian charity toward another man. Subsequently, Pope John Paul II pointed out that the Nazis' systematic hatred of whole categories of humanity was inherently also a hatred of religious (Christian) faith; he said that Kolbe's death equated to earlier examples of religious martyrdom.
