About 85 % of French nationals are Roman Catholics of varying degrees of practice. Arguably more Saints came from France than any other European country, with the possible exception of Italy ( Rome itself!) examples in the nineteenth century include St. Catherine Laboure, St. Bernadette of Lourdes, and St. Therese of Lisieux- all active religious ( nuns). Somewhat oddly- and perhaps for political and historical reasons, Joan of Arc was not made a saint ( canonized is the term used) until l920.
