Encyclopedia@yahooeducation.com  claims in the Roman Catholic Church,

“Canonization is the process by which a person is classified as a saint. It is now performed at Rome alone, although in the middle Ages and earlier bishops elsewhere used to canonize. Canonization is not necessary for martyrs who are considered to be enrolled among the saints on their death, but in recent years the church has approved the cult of canonized persons only. Beatification, by which a person is called blessed and his/her cult is approved, requires proof of two miracles and must precede canonization.”

 
THIS PAST WEEK the former Pope John Paul was beatified by Rome.  If I thought the Catholic church was the church Jesus sat up in the world to preach the gospel-- then I might be a catholic. Therefore, My subject is “Beatified, authorized by religious man or God?” As all peoples of the world I love THEM all, As I do all lost souls. I cannot embrace the catholic system or their doctrine as TRUTH. So my subject might not be a popular  one to discuss and may even stir up a fuss among some. I'm a soul searcher for the truth according to the Sola Scriptura. So lets a look into the good book and see who really are the saints according to THE CHURCH BY JESUS CHRIST WORLD WITHOUT END. 

According to the Catholic church history: Beatification (from Latin beatus, blessed) is a recognition accorded by the Catholic Church of a dead person's entrance into Heaven and capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals --  who pray in his or her name (intercession of saints). Beatification is the third of the four steps in the canonization process. A person who is beatified is given the title "Blessed."

Jude 1:3: Who were the saints spoken by Jude? Whom were the saints Apostle Paul said in Acts 26:10 “did I shut up in prison and gave consent to their death.” Whom were those  Apostle Paul wrote "to the saints at Rome" very well alive and not dead and gone to the beyond. “Now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints” Romans 15:25. Who were the saints Apostle Paul greeted in 1^st Cor 1: 2. There are five more scriptures in the Chapters of 1^st Corinthians which born again Christians (baptized beleivers) are called saints. And in Rom 16:15: “Salute, Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.” If you will do your homework and search out the Scriptures you will find in many of the Apostle Paul letters to the churches; he calls the church members “saints” and his companion in tribulation the Apostle Peter called the saints lively stones, not dead. The Apostle Paul warns the living saints in 1^st Thessalonians 2:11 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” Beatified, (rhymes with lied) So for me "Canonization" is authorized by the Holy See, a worldly religous man; and  not ordained by the Head and only lawgiver of the church, the bible calls Jesus.
