Archbishop Leo Cornelio said the news of Mother Teresa being declared saint by Pope Francis was a matter of celebration. He added that he was influenced by her loving and humble nature, when he worked with her.

He condemned the terrorist attack in Belgium, saying, “These types of terror spreading people have no religion, they are acting against the will of God, and they are doing great sin against the humanity. We should pray for them, so that they realize the true meaning of life”
