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

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

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

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

    That way they can’t fuck up their legacy like so many public figures do. It’s better to have them die first before giving them sainthood, statues or other long term praise

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

  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

    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.

      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

  Martyrs get a pass on the miracles BTW.

    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 relatively easy in his case, considering his connection to healthcare. Get enough people with terminal diagnoses praying for his intercession, and some will happen to make a statistically unlikely spontaneous recovery.
