In Stalking the Holy, writer and scholar Michael W. Higgins explores the Roman Catholic pursuit of saint-making - the pre-eminent Christian model, he argues, with its elaborate features and arcane cast of players such as the relator and the promotor of the faith. He points out that if saints are not actually made so much as recognized by the Church, nevertheless this official recognition is a form of manufacture, involving motivation, expertise, and risk.
