ROME — Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to helping India's poor, will be made a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican said Friday. She will likely be canonized in September to coincide with the 19th anniversary of her death and  Pope Francis' Holy Year of Mercy , according to an Italian Catholic newspaper report. The pontiff marked his 79th birthday on Thursday by approving a decree that the nun had performed a second miracle 11 years after her death, the Vatican confirmed in a statement.

Baba Vanga predicted many things before she passed away in 1996 at age 85, but it’s only in hindsight that we see that so many of her predictions came true. Not only did she predict 9/11, saying that “two steel birds” would take the towers down, but she also predicted that an African-American man would be the 44th President of the United States (yep, Obama). She foresaw the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and warned of climate change and the polar ice caps melting in the 1950s. In her 50-year-long career Baba Vanga made hundreds of predictions.  Known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” her visions have had roughly an 85% accuracy rate, which is very high and totally terrifying. What’s most concerning about her visions is what Baba Vanga foresaw in the next few years. Here’s a roundup of those predictions: 1-Baba Vanga warned of an invasion of Europe by Muslim extremists in 2016. 2-By 2043, Baba Vanga foresaw a large Muslim caliphate with ...
