Priest 'felt Mother Teresa was a saint 40 years before her canonisation'
A retired Catholic priest said he recognised the saintliness of Mother Teresa when he met her more than 40 years ago as he joined 120,000 people in St Peter's Square at the Vatican for her canonisation.
Applause erupted around the square on Sunday morning from thousands of the faithful who had made the pilgrimage to see Pope Francis officially make the nun who cared for the world's destitute a saint.
