Can we still revere a saint whose most famous act directly violates modern Catholic teaching? Take Saint Boniface. He famously chopped down a sacred pagan oak tree to prove the power of God….an act that helped make him the patron saint of Germany. Yet today, that same act would likely lead to criminal charges and church condemnation. How does Catholicism reconcile the bold actions of its historic heroes when we’d denounce those exact same actions today?
