The act of canonization itself demonstrates that these are exceptions not meant for ordinary believers. Ordinary believers should follow a path that conforms to what is natural and normal. Hence theology becomes increasingly a theology of nature and moves further apart from a theology of grace. The hard question put by Jesus: What more are you doing than others? is obscured. In accord with society as a whole, theology enters into a search for normality, for obedience to the laws of nature.
