The '''Dicastery for the Causes of Saints''' (Latin: ''Dicasterium de Causis Sanctorum''), formerly known as the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, is a department of the [[Roman Curia]] responsible for overseeing the process of [[canonization]] and [[beatification]] of saints in the [[Catholic Church]]. Established to ensure the rigorous examination of candidates for sainthood, the Dicastery evaluates their lives, virtues, and miracles, presenting cases to the [[pope]] for final approval. It also authenticates and preserves sacred [[relics]] and determines the granting of the title [[Doctor of the Church]]. Rooted in the Church’s mission to promote holiness, the Dicastery plays a vital role in the [[Communion of Saints]] by recognizing those who exemplify heroic virtue and fidelity to God. | The '''Dicastery for the Causes of Saints''' (Latin: ''Dicasterium de Causis Sanctorum''), formerly known as the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, is a department of the [[Roman Curia]] responsible for overseeing the process of [[canonization]] and [[beatification]] of saints in the [[Catholic Church]].
