New Section
The process of canonization in the Catholic Church is detailed, involving stages such as investigation of candidates' lives and miracles, leading to their recognition as saints.
Process of Canonization
- The first stage involves the diocese preparing a detailed report on the candidate's life and virtues before presenting it to the Vatican.
- Advancement to the second phase requires verification of a miracle attributed to the candidate's intercession, approved by scientists and theologians.
- Upon declaration as blessed (beato), the individual is recognized for their sanctity, with public veneration allowed at specific locations related to their life.
- Beatified individuals have an annual feast day dedicated to them.
