The '''process of [[beatification]] and [[canonization]]''' has undergone various reforms in the history of the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. For current practice, as well as a discussion of similar processes in other churches, see the article on [[canonization]]. This article describes the process as it was in 1914, before the promulgation of the ''[[Code of Canon Law|Codex Iuris Canonici]]'' (''Code of Canon Law'') of 1983.

The causes of [[martyr|martyrs]] were considered somewhat differently from those of [[confessor|confessors]] and [[Virgin (title)|virgins]].
