\ndifferences need certain light in a canonization process. Scholasticism
\nadvocates that we always distinguish. Benedict XVI will be beatifying his
\nfriend, colleague and boss, Pope John Paul II on May 1. So, the faithful are
\nasking what’s the difference between the ecclesial acts of beatification and
\ncanonization?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nmarks of any beatification. There are three differences:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\nthat can hold annual public liturgical celebrations in the holy person’s honor;<\/span><\/li>\n
\ninvolved in the proclamation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nChurch, “at a beatification ceremony, the bishop of the diocese where the
\nperson dies asks that the candidate be declared blessed; at a canonization, the
\nprefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes speaks in the name of the whole
\nchurch and asks that the candidate be declared a saint.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\ndifference between a beatification and canonization is that with a canonization
\nthere is an act of declaring dogmatically, that God has revealed this person
\nwith Him in beatitude. Essentially, it is a matter of papal infallibility.
\nBeing a saint is a dogmatic statement; being a blessed is not. A saint can be
\nliturgically commemorated at the sacred Liturgy worldwide and remembered in
\nother circumstances like naming buildings after the person. When the Church
\nsays a person is a blessed, it is an administrative act of the papal office; a
\nblessed can be liturgically commemorated is limited to certain circumstances,
\nlike where the person lives or in the houses of the religious congregation
\nshould the person be a religious.
