Line 37:
# The final stage is a discussion of the security (''super tuto'') with which advance to beatification may be made, as in the case of confessors; the solemn beatification then follows.
==Confirmation of cult==<!-- This section is linked from [[Charlemagne]] -->
This procedure is followed in all cases of formal beatification in causes of both confessors and martyrs proposed in the ordinary way (''per viam non cultus''). Those proposed as coming under the definition of cases excepted (''casus excepti'') by Urban VIII are treated in another way. In such cases it must be proved that an immemorial public veneration (at least for 100 years before the promulgation, in [[1640]], of the decrees of Urban VIII) has been paid the servant of God, whether confessor or martyr. Such cause is proposed under the title of "confirmation of veneration" (''de confirmatione cultus''); it is dealt with in an ordinary meeting of the Congregation of Rites. When the difficulties of the promotor of the Faith have been satisfied, a pontifical decree confirming the cultus is promulgated. Beatification of this kind is called equivalent or virtual.
