VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis canonized six new saints Sunday, including a priest and a nun from the Indian state of Kerala, in a packed ceremony in St. Peter's Square. The pope said the new saints, four Italians from far-flung provinces and two Indians from the Syro-Malabar Church, one of 22 Eastern rite churches that operates in full communion with Rome, provided examples of service to "the smallest and the poorest." The pope expressed hope that the four Italian saints, born in the provinces of Vicenza in the north, Naples in the south, Rimini on the Adriatic coast, and Cosenza near the tip of the Italian boot, would help "revive the spirit of cooperation and harmony for the common good."
