No medieval emphasis, (the case studies are Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, and Pope Pius XIII), but has relevance to the discussion of sainthood in general, referencing the continuing utility of popular legends such as those of Joan of Arc and Thomas Becket. The main focus of the book is on the mentality and process of creating saints, with particular reference to the pontificate of John Paul II.
