| | While the Pope waived the customary five-year period for the sainthood process for Mother Teresa to begin and declared her beatified within six years of her death in 1997, data available with the Church indicate that it took nearly a century after their death for other four candidates to be elevated to the blessed status. | | | Besides the four beatified persons, there is only one cannonised person of Indian origin, St Gonsalo Garcia, who was born in 1557 at Vasai near Mumbai. | | | According to Church sources, all the four have been beatified at various points of Pope John Paul-II's reign, a testimony of his personal interest in creating as many role models as possible within the Roman Catholic Church. |

| | A person who is beatified is given the title "Blessed." The feast day, however, is not universal, but is celebrated only in regions where the Blessed receives particular veneration. | | | It should be noted that some of the beatifications by bishops in the Middle Ages are almost scandalous by modern standards. | | | For instance, Charlemagne was beatified by a court bishop shortly after his death. |
