i watched riverdale but i can’t recall how sainthood differs in their universe from ours would you be willing to reenlighten me

in THIS universe to become a catholic saint you have to die because they need to be able to evaluate your entire life from beginning to end, usually there is a 5 year waiting period, the church assigns someone to investigate how devoted you were to god and catholic teachings, the vatican has to peer review it, and they have to confirm you performed at least two miracles to canonize you. (though martyrs can sometimes bypass one miracle requirement iirc).

in the RIVERDALE universe you can be a living saint. you just have to perform three miracles with increasing dramatics involved, so as to have a pleasant three act structure to your one-off "achieving sainthood" episode. i dont even think you have to be religious in any significant way to do it.

and, per the post i made that i know that caused you to ask this question, adam parrish meets that requirement from his three miracles. when it comes to sainthood miracles theres a lot of variation but typically the way it works is that the Saint in question is in danger in some way and suddenly is saved by seemingly divine intervention.

adams three miracles:

1) getting shot point blank by whelk in the raven boys but the bullet somehow doesnt pierce his skin (i forget whether it just goes straight through him or just bounces off him)

2) the thorn that pierces roberts hand from out of nowhere when hes about to hit adam in blue lily lily blue

3) when that big pile of construction slabs falls on him and all of it just explodes around him and theres a perfect circle surrounding him that the debris doesnt even touch

also it would make for great dramatics that the riverdale universe would like because adams agnostic on a good day and would be so mad about becoming a saint and ronan would be even more mad bc he actually goes to church and has insane catholic neuroses but is still like "im fairly certain god either ignores me entirely or sees me as an abomination and im not sure what is worse"

its a tragedy they had to meet in this tournament space because cheryl blossom and ronan lynch would absolutely be friends if they met. mainly because they both have all of the same things wrong with them
