Let's start with Pope Fabian.
St. Fabian, a Roman, was as energetic as he was admired and respected. He was able to accomplish a great deal during his long pontificate. Escaping the persecution of Emperor Maximus Thrax, who had been αssαssιnαtҽd, Fabian enjoyed peace in the Church under the reigns of succeeding emperors.
One of St. Fabian's first acts was to reorganize the clergy of Rome to better serve the increasing flock. He is also credited with beautifying and enlarging the cemeteries. He ordered paintings to adorn the vaults, and he erected a church above the cemetery of Calixtus.
The Church flourished under St. Fabian as a succession of emperors left the Christians to themselves. This peaceful time came to an abrupt end with the ascension of Emperor Decius. He was a cruel enemy and he decreed that all Christians were to deny Christ by openly worshipping pagan idols. The Church was to lose many followers, but more stood firm to suffer torture and even death. Certainly, one of the first was Pope Fabian. Arrested, he was thrown in prison and died at the hands of his brutal captors. He is buried in the cemetery of Calixtus.
•Pope Fabian's two special interests were the poor and the liturgy. Offer your Mass today for someone in spiritual need since this is the worst poverty and the greatest charity.

Rule of Saint Benedict
And the Lord seeking His laborer among the multitude to whom He here speaketh saith again "Who is the man that will have life, and desireth to see good days?" If thou hearing this dost answer "I am he" God saith unto thee "If thou wilt have true and everlasting life, refrain thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile 'Decline from evil and do good' seek after peace and pursue it" And when you have done this, My eyes shall be upon you, and My ears shall be open to your prayers"

I think a Pope is a saint when the world hates him.
John Paul Ii and John xiii are being made saints in April to push Vatican Ii
What is the longest time a person was made a saint
Usually a hundred years.???
The 100 hundred year anniversary of St Pope Pius x is this year.
There should be Major masses and processions all over.
