==Canonization==

{{unreferenced section|date=October 2023}}

The canonization of confessors or martyrs might be taken up as soon as two miracles were reported to have been worked at their [[Intercession of saints|intercession]], after the pontifical permission of public veneration as described above. At this stage it was only required that the two miracles worked after the permission awarding a public cultus be discussed in three meetings of the congregation. The discussion proceeded in the ordinary way; if the miracles were confirmed, another meeting (''super tuto'') was held. The pope then issued a [[Papal bull|Bull]] of Canonization in which he not only permitted, but commanded, the public cultus, or veneration, of the saint.
