I saw some Republicans in Congress were calling him the 13th disciple of Jesus. There’s definitely an attempt to infuse religion into the mythology being constructed around him.
I can’t imagine most protestant denominations have the organizational and bureaucratic capacity for catholic sanctification. It looks like Anglicans kept the pre split saints and then created a new category of heroes and they seem to do their own thing for it. That’s the most similar protestant denomination to catholicism.
It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where the baptists are organizing enough to do a trial where evidence for and against sainthood are presented. Also the concept of saints is entirely Tradition so it violates sola scriptura
they are going to try and make him a fuckin Saint? I wonder which white nationalist religious wacko will try to have him canonized …

If I was a Christian I’d be pissed at that
I believe this is called “heresy” if evangelicals and NARs and the rest actually cared about that.
The holy book about his last moments will be based on Ayn Rand
“The fountainkirk”
Was he Catholic? Or do protestants even have saints?
no and yes. I think the Christians that do it use the same rules for recognition but don’t require the Pope’s declaration

He was an evangelical christian, and was very much against the previous pope. He called him a marxist, a heretic, etc.
He saw the people before him were thirsty and so He performed the miracle of becoming a fountain. Truly inspiring.
The miracles must be performed AFTER death. He didn’t die instantly.
