    • Boy do I need this saint. Thanks. My extended family is falling apart so rapidly. Three of my nephews are in very, very serious trouble. These are boys that were "properly medicated" with all of the mandatory drugs issued by the enlightened public schools system and so now they are suffering greatly.

    no formal beatification has taken place...because of lack for formal designation, she is sometimes listed as Saint Christina, sometimes as Blessed Christina...


    She should not be referred to in either manner, due to the reason you give, and which I have put in bold.

    Ask her prayers by all means, but do not call her what your Holy Mother the Church does not call her (yet).

    I thought she was a saint but having checked it out, the Catholic Church indeed never called her one.

    • Yes, some Catholics were considered to be saints or blessed before the official process of canonization restricted to the Pope finally came around.
