What board was that? I post on many boards but hard to find one where TT hasn't been beatified.

With all respect;

The meaning of beatified:

** “Beatification” is the step right before sainthood.

** By beatifying someone, the Church ( Edit: The Roman Catholic Church) proclaims that the person in question is:

a) definitely in Heaven, and

b) definitely able to plead to God on your behalf if you pray to him.

(This is theoretically true for any other Christians in Heaven, too. But beatification is meant to be a rigorous process in order to prove this is the case).

Before you can be beatified, the Church (Edit: The R.C. Church) has to investigate and make sure that all of your writings show “purity of doctrine” (i.e., nothing against the faith!) and that all of your actions were motivated by virtue.
If you pass that test:

For that level, the Church has to prove also either that you were martyred or that you caused a miracle after your death.

**** After beatification, you’re then called “Blessed.”

Comment woodbuck27:

* If I assume? that then Ted Thompson was raised as "a Methodist" or a long ways apart from being raised as a Roman Catholic !?

RE: Ted Thompson:

Can we agree to move right past the status of being recognized as being beatified >>>> to something more appropriate for Ted Thompson:

Doesn't he deserve the status description as ...BLESSED !?
