Acording to Catholic tradition, a single miracle is required for beatification. For this, the Vatican has recognised the healing of a tumour in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, after the application of a locket containing Mother Teresa's picture. Besra said that a beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumour.

Dr. Ranjan Mustafi, who had been treating Besra, said that the cyst was not cancer at all but a cyst caused by tuberculosis. He said, "It was not a miracle.... She took medicines for nine months to one year." According to Besra's husband, "My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any miracle. Nevertheless, this new information does not invalidate her beatification, and a second miracle will lead to Mother Teresa's canonisation.

Where can you find proof of your mother's marriage in a Catholic Church in Partick Scotland?

All Catholic sacraments are recorded on the original baptismal certificate, which is held at the Church where the individual's baptism was performed. If a Catholic ANYWHERE in the world attempts to be confirmed, marry, be ordained, then they must get a copy of the original birth certificate, including the back (which has all the sacraments listed and their dates) before any sacrament can be performed. Therefore, all you have to do is call the Church where your mother was baptized and ask for a copy of her baptismal certificate. It will have the date and place of her marriage along with the priest who witnessed it, recorded on the back of it.

How sanctity in Catholicism overcame protestantism?

You have asked a question that is a little hard to answer as I don't really understand what you are asking, let me give it a shot. Sanctity, in an absolute sense, is Divinity. The sanctity of God is His total transcendence or total otherness. Sanctity in people refers to the extent that they participate in the sanctity of God. This begins with baptism and grows through the regular participation in the sacraments and regularly conforming oneself to the Will of God through daily prayer and meditation and through the good works which God expects of us: the love of God and of neighbor. Thus sanctity in people results in saints, like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II. Protestantism is a heresy that denies the Body of Christ present in His Church and His Sacraments. A living saint, like Mother Teresa or John Paul II, is living proof of God's goodness in them, and the working out of His Will in them. Prayer and love are the two things needed to overcome any heresy, protestantism is particularly difficult as one of the first things it teaches is there is no need for the Church or the graces given by God through Christ's Body, the Church, and that they are already saved. We must however, live good lives in God's grace, and working through us, He will bring this about.
