RE: Lincoln as secular saint
Actually, I was just thinking out loud and did not really expect a reply to my questions, which were prompted by an earlier discussion in this thread.

I too was brought up Catholic but have not been a Catholic for many many years. Too many things in that religion make no sense to me.

I prefer to leave the judging to God, not to any church, or any human being, and that is based on my simple and probably woefully incomplete knowledge of things spiritual. As I understand it, we humans are allowed only to judge actions, and labeling anyone a saint is judging the person.

(So whoever wrote the book of Ecclesiastes said "the dead know not anything." That does seem to jive with the concept of the Second Coming, whereas souls immediately going to the next world does not appear to.)
