This must be changed.  Wikipedia is not a catholic encyclopedia.  First
of all, these are human beings and later on other human beings said
they are blessed.  Within the article, don't use "St" as a predicate;
instead write "saint" (if necessary at all).

Starting an article as follows: "Saint Bernard of Clairvaux" will offend
many a lot human beings who are not members of the Roman church.
