According to Van Noort, the infallibility of canonizations fall under common opinion( sententia communis)
if we consult Ludwig Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, he says common opinion
”is doctrine, which in itself belongs to the field of free opinions, but which is accepted by theologians generally”
So what you say isn’t quite right
I highly recommend reading Dr. Lamont’s article
I have read the article, and I disagree with it in my professional capacity. That is called "peer review" in academia.
And I have both Van Noort and Ott right here on my desk. But I also have the
Dictionaire de Théologie Catholique as well as Franzelin and Scheeben. I never said that the the exercise of papal infallibility in a canonisation is itself a teaching on the
de fide level. I do not even know if it could be raised to that level since
doctrina de fide pertains to the Deposit of Faith, whereas this exercise of infallibility in canonisations would seem to be a derived form from the more general infallibility belonging to the universal Magisterium (which is
de fide).
Dude, I teach this stuff for a living.
I am not some armchair theologian. My livelihood and reputation depend on me knowing what I am talking about.
