Canonization is the final step of the process by which a deceased person's name is inscribed in the catalog of Saints in the Roman Catholic church. Originally the process took place locally and the bishop proclaimed someone a saint. 封圣是最后一步的过程中，由一名死者的人的名字刻在目录中的圣人，在罗马天主教会，本来过程中发生的本地及主教宣布某人圣人。 Gradually it was reserved to the pope, and the process used since 1918 is described in detail in the Code of Canon Law.逐渐这是预留给教宗，以及使用过程中， 1918年以来，详细描述了在代码中的教会法。
An exhaustive investigation is made of the person's life to determine extraordinary holiness.详尽调查了人的生命，以确定不平凡的圣洁。 The steps of investigation involve an initiation of the process by a competent person or group; the advancement of the investigation by the advocate of the cause, called the postulator; objections to the evidence by the promotor of the faith, popularly called the devil's advocate; the initial judgment of the validity of the process in terms of veracity and authenticity; the declaration and celebration of beatification, by which the person is called blessed; and celebration of canonization, by which the person is called saint.该步骤的调查涉及了这一进程的发起，由主管人或一组;提高调查所倡导的事业，被称为张贴;异议的证据所启动的信念，俗称魔鬼的辩护士;初步判断的有效性的过程中的准确性和真实性;宣言和庆祝活动的宣福，其中人是所谓的祝福和庆祝封，其中的人是所谓的圣人。

Canonization is a legal process in the Roman Catholic Church whereby a departed "servant of God," already beatified, is declared a saint.封圣是一个法律的过程中，罗马天主教会是一离开"的公仆神" ，已经宣福，申报圣人。 Such persons are entered into the "canon" or catalog of saints invoked at the celebration of Mass. Beyond the heroic virtue and miraculous power verified already at beatification, saints must perform at least two additional miracles.这类人进入"佳能"或目录的圣人援引在庆祝麻省超越英雄美德和神奇的力量，已经验证了在宣福，圣人必须履行至少有两个附加的奇迹。
In the early church elevation to sainthood was essentially a local affair and not distinguished from beatification.在早期教会的高程，以圣人基本上是一个地方事件，而不要有别于宣福。 In an effort to curb superstitious abuses Pope Alexander III (1159-81) ruled that the Roman See would henceforth approve all canonizations.在努力遏制迷信滥用教皇亚历山大三世（ 1159年至1181年）的判决中指出，罗马，看看今后会批准所有canonizations 。 This led eventually to the complicated legal processes worked out by Pope Urban VIII in the seventeenth century and given authoritative exposition in Pope Benedict XIV's Heroic Virtue in the nineteenth.这导致最终形成了复杂的法律过程的工作，由教宗市区八是在17世纪，并给出了权威的展览会，教宗本笃十四的英雄美德，在十九。
There are several noteworthy differences between beatification (the first step) and canonization.有几个值得注意的区别宣福（第一步）和册封。 Since Vatican Council I canonization is considered an infallible papal act, thus guaranteeing that these saints are indeed worthy of veneration and able to intercede for the faithful.自梵蒂冈谨封被认为是不会犯错误的教皇的行为，从而保证这些圣人，确实值得敬仰，并能够交涉，为教友们。 The beatified receive only local recognition, while saints are venerated throughout the Catholic Church.该宣福只得到当地认可，而圣人是崇敬的整个天主教会。 The cult of the beatified is only permitted, while that of the saints is mandated.邪教的宣福是唯一获准，而对圣人的任务。 Saints alone become patrons of churches and are portrayed with the nimbus (gloriole).圣人仅成为食客的教堂和被描绘与灵气（ gloriole ） 。 However, both beatification and canonization are judgments (the latter infallible) by the church that the person now reigns in glory, is worthy of veneration and imitation, and is able to intercede for the faithful.然而，无论宣福和封圣是判决（后者犯错） ，由教会的人，现在笼罩在荣耀，实在是值得我们敬仰和模仿能力，并能对社会，为教友们。
