I was ready to point out that this was not possible because canonisation requires the person have performed two miracles, but then I found out that there is actually a pathway without that:

Very rarely, a Pope may waive the requirement… if he, the Sacred College of Cardinals, and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints all agree that the Blessed lived a life of great merit proven by certain actions.

Martyrs get a pass on the miracles BTW.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Not quite. They get a pass on miracles for beatification, but wording to this page's "Since 1983" section two miracles are originally required for canonisation. In fact it is the non-martyr blessed who get a pass, since their miracle to become blessed counts and they only need one more.

The miracles are going to be people praying to him to have their claims accepted.

I'm not sure they can waive the requirement that a saint be dead however, it's sort of part of the definition...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

Doesn't one of the charges carry the death penalty?

I think there is an inbetween where you not declared saint but basically are declared somewhat holy ready to be sainted once you die.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Venerated, Beatified, Saint. At least that's what I remember from Catechism beginning some 67 years ago

Praising His Name

Well, the Popeis the absolute sovereign dictator of Church dogma, so if he says tomorrow that Luigi is a saint, then all 1 billion Catholics worldwide must listen

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Kind of. He is the leader of the church but the congregation of Cardinals also holds a lot of political sway over the office as well and advise the pope on all kinds of matters.

Papal infallibility basically only applies to the interpretation of doctrine and scripture by the papal office.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah and there's still ecumenical councils and tradition.

There's a reason the pope that gave birth didn't lead to female priests, sexusl activity permitted among priests, or transmasculine priests, just a genital inspection before being confirmed as pope
