Apparently the first step in the creation of a saint is for local people to venerate a person. Eventually the Church declares that person to be a saint as a way to reestablish their control on the local practices. There is a Saint Pilate (not a nice person) and a Saint Thecla (not even a real person), so why not a Saint Stalin?

How about a non-human saint? Saint Rudolph the Red-nosed. Wink
