Via the Marginal Revolution blog comes an attempt to "apply social-science reasoning to understand the Church’s choices on numbers and characteristics of saints, gauged by location and socioeconomic attributes of the persons designated as blessed."
I didn't even attempt to figure out the math, but enjoyed the same phrase, in the following quote, that the poster did. "Thus, there is a little evidence that popes experience saint-making fatigue as their tenure in office lengthens."
