    That is actually a smart point, there was no formal canonization process in the Catholic Church during the Period.Only Saint by name like they

    Saint Patrick of Ireland.

    Ridiculous. He’s held as a saint by the Catholic Church as are all saints before formal papal canonizations were in vogue. Are you questioning the status of all saints before that time?

    • I know my choices are controversial and a hard sell, but I would canonize either Pope Julius II or Pope Paul IV.

    (Before I get any Replies about "muh the procedure of canonization", this is only a hypothetical and a fun little thread)

    I would Personally choose Reginald Garriou-Lagrange OP.
    Not only would Lagrange be a leading figures in the Neo-Thomistic movement ,who rejuvenated Thomism in the modern west, but he would be a staunch Anti-Modernist, Lagrange would fiercely teach St Pius X encyclical Pascendi Dominici gregis  and he would see it reconfirmed in Pius XII's Humani generis.
    Lagr    ange Piety as an OP and his Faithfulness to a Traditional Eternal Rome should be forever remembered.

    I get it, but canonization requires not just good theology but also heroic sanctity, so one would have to look into his personal life very deeply, obtain the necessary miracles, etc. ... perhaps you could start by asking his intercession for some miraculous cause.

    Of course, it's quite clear that this is precisely what the Conciliar Church has done, use canonization for political reasons.  As even Michael Matt admitted, Roncalli and Montini were not canonized on account of heroic virtue and sanctity but because they were attempting to endorse and "canonize", as it were, Vatican II itself.

    But I guess it would be true of all these suggestions, where we add "... assuming that an investigation finds personal sanctity and heroic virtue".

    Fr. Leonard Feeney, who fought the good fight against the termites and worms before the house fell.

    You asked . . . :cowboy:

    Ditto ^^^ ... again, assuming that he's found to have exercised heroic sanctity.  Father Feeney was literally the lone voice calling out the decay and Modernism in the Church in the late 1940s and the 1950s ... when everybody else thought that things were perfectly fine with the Church.  He was opposing Vatican II before it happened.

    I would also add ... Father Janos Brenner
    https://hi-in.facebook.com/spspaltaloma/posts/december-15-is-the-feast-day-and-anniversary-of-the-death-of-blessed-father-john/3628209823921540/

    Not only did he die a martyr for the Holy Eucharist, and also for providing Last Rites (he was out in a "fake" call for Last Rites and ambushed), but reading some of his spiritual diaries, this young priest sounded like a male equivalent of St. Therese.

    I might also consider Cardinal Mindszenty, except that he tragically gave in to the Conciliar Church and the New Mass before his death.

    Marie Julie Jehenney

    Josefa Menendez

    (I know that's two)

    While I would concur with Marie Julie Jaheny based on her heroic sanctity, there's a bit of a question about whether all the writings attributed to her are genuine, and the Church would have to diligently go through them.  That's why Mary of Agreda and Katherine Emmerich were not canonized, because canonization could give a misleading impression that the Church endorsed all of her writings / statements a divinely revealed in private revelation.  To me that's a bit dangerous.

    I would certainly open the cause for Padre Pio though ... since the Conciliar canonizations are bogus.

    Leo XIII

    Unfortunately, I would have to disagree.  Pope Leo XIII was a bit too friendly with the Modernists, which is why St. Pius X had such a battle on his hands when he was elected.  There were a few things in Pope Leo's Encyclicals that the Modernists regularly pounce on to undermine Sacred Scripture.

    Father Daniel Cooper

    I would also open his cause ... waiting for the miracles.  I never found a better confessor, someone who loved souls more.  Of concern, however, would be allegations that he was involved a bit in the coverup of sɛҳuąƖ predators in SSPX ... and that would have to be investigated.
