ACTIVE Mon Aug 31, 09 - Sat May 26, 12

Joan of Arc was made a saint of the Catholic church when the church finally realized after almost 450 years that she actually did something good and risked her life for other people.
The voices assured her that this was 'God's work' and that He would guide her.

So why was Joan of Arc made a saint?

[+] She followed God's will despite criticism and persecution
[+] Some believe she was a witch
[+] Those voices in her head weren't from God
[+] She shouldn't have been
[+] She was made a Saint because a certain number of miracles were ascribed to her after she died.
