Following the precedent of past Roman emperors, Diocletian presented himself as divine, thus invoking the reverence and loyalty of his subjects (Brownworth 6). However, although pagan citizens readily adapted to this declaration, Christians, due to their monotheistic beliefs, were unable to acknowledge and give sacrifices to Diocletian. Consequently, Diocletian, in what would become one of the most monumental blunders of his career, issued an edict to force Christians to sacrifice to him at the threat of death (6-7). From here, his policy only became more extreme. Christians were persecuted, temples were desecrated, and holy texts were burnt.

Also she wanted people to continue talking about her, spreading her story of love and faith and if she became a saint she would be praised, but sadly it seems, forgotten. Once she gets the highest title of saint most people would believe she reached her peak and stop following her movements. Not wanting that honor showed that she cared more about the people (and the faith) than the fame. To me, that’s what being a saint is all about.
