'''Canonization''' is the process by which the Catholic Church declares a deceased person to be a [[saint]], meaning they are recognized as having lived an exceptionally holy life, are now in Heaven, and can be venerated by the faithful. The Church canonizes individuals to present them as models of Christian living, to acknowledge their intercessory power (meaning they can pray for those on Earth), and to allow public veneration or worship of them. | '''Canonization''' is the process by which the Catholic Church declares a deceased person to be a [[saint]], meaning they are recognized as having lived an exceptionally holy life, are now in Heaven, and can be venerated by the faithful.
