Saint? Angela of Foligno

    • Maybe someone can help me.  I was reading "Divine Intimacy," printed in 1996, for today and it quoted St Angela of Foligno.  I looked her up and the Wikipedia article said she was canonized by Pope Francis in 2013.  Does anyone know how this can be?

    Here is a picture of the quote.

    The Vatican Website says this:

    "Even before her death, which occurred on January 4, 1309, the title of saint was attributed by the people, unofficially."

    • Equivalent Canonization?  :confused:

    "Pope Francis declared her a saint by “equivalent canonization.” In equivalent canonization – a procedure described by Pope Benedict XIV in the eighteenth century – the Pope waives the usual judicial process and declares that a blessed’s liturgical cult is extended to the universal Church. Pope Benedict canonized St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) by equivalent canonization in 2012, and Pope Francis also canonized St. Peter Faber by equivalent canonization in December.

    “Equivalent canonization, though not frequent, is not rare in the Church,” Cardinal Angelo Amato had said in a December interview. “The best known are Gregory VII, Gertrude of Helfta, Peter Damian, Cyril and Methodius, John Damascene, the Venerable Bede, Albert the Great, Thomas More, John of Avila.”
