A move to declare Tolkien a Catholic saint

***Alcuin*** · 07-17-2018, 02:43 AM

I learned of this just today.

Apparently there is support to declare G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkien saints in the Catholic Church. This from last Saturday in Aletia, and this from October 2017 in the Portuguese Tolkien Brasil. (I am not fluent in Portuguese, and for others like me who suffer this deficiency, here is an English translation, courtesy of Google.)

There is even a website, Cause for Tolkien, registered by someone in Arizona. (It is not possible to tell who: the registrant is by proxy.)

Shameless bandwagonning by the Papacy if you ask me.
