It’s a shame that the Catholic Church doesn’t understand the true meaning of Saints and instead tries to tell people that only a chosen few people that lived “good” lives are Saints. Why not tell them the TRUTH that Saints are ALL people redeemed through faith in Christ Jesus.

Chris, that IS what the church teaches. However, some saints are famous and have stories that inspire us, lead large groups of people to Christ, change their world in their time, are witness to or part of miracles, etc. Therefore the church elevates and makes examples of them.
