Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Catholic talk show. Today we got an interesting topic. How are saints made?

That's right. We're gonna look at the canonization process of the Catholic Church and look at all the steps

how a person goes and becomes canonized as saint in the church. So from servant of God, all the way to sainthood, we're gonna teach you all of the steps.

All right. This is a great topic. I mean, we're gonna be going through this with you father, Hanky. You know, I mean, this is something that we can expect from you. Yeah. That's right. Once, you know, he kicks it and we bury him in the secret location. We've agreed to bury him in.

I'm pulling out my Hanky now. That's right. You move and there's all Hanky. Well, we're gonna be the only one who knows where his incorrect body is buried. So this is the process that it's gonna have to go through the corrupt body. I'm just open to go right into the dirt behind the rustic altar. That's all. Let's be honest, your body's already a little bit corrupt.

Especially your knees. They're gonna look at your knees. I didn't know way this cat's a saint. These are gonna be rejuving all of the materials that we produced over the last 200 plus episodes.

Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah, the council for the canonization of saints are gonna give me a whole hard time. I just want to make it into heaven. And I think that's a really good point. You know, anybody who makes it into heaven is a saint. That's right.

What we're talking about with the canonization of saints are those who are recognizing the calendar of the church and given the right to be, you know, named a church or maybe a school. So it's it's appropriated to that sense of like an outstanding sense of virtue and the church recognizes that and celebrates that with the community.

And we want to give you recognition, full recognition, possibly to become a saint by just clicking the subscribe button in that little bell on the YouTube.

Be our saint. That's a very good point. So make sure you hit that subscribe button, click the bell, give us a thumbs up and spread the good news of the Catholic talk show all over social media. We're on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

And if you're on commutes, if you don't have a time to watch us on YouTube, we're on every type of podcasting forum from iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and most especially pod bean. That's right.

So I think it is a good distinction you made that anybody, according to Catholic theology, who is in heaven is a saint.

The difference that we're talking about today is that canonization process, right, who are people who the church officially and authoritatively declares to be in heaven to whose intercession we can seek.

Now, initially, they're exhaustive, right? I mean, there's saints in heaven that we've probably never had the chance to ask majority of the people to have never heard of.

And that's why we have a feast and solemnity like all saints. That's right.

Because, you know, we're recounting the saints that are in the calendar, yes, but even more appropriately for that particular solemnity, we're focusing on all of the saints, the countless saints that we don't know yet.

And I say yet, for a particular important point, because what we will enjoy in the communion with one another, that Jesus wants to see in the midst of the church, that kind of prophetic foretaste of what is coming, that's where our true communion and our oneness is realized in the marriage with the bridegroom that is Jesus Christ.

So what we celebrate in heaven is marriage, the mystical marriage of the great crowd of witnesses has mentioned in the Bible in the coming days.

So I think a good place to start is that there's four basic steps. We'll start with the basic here. There's four basic, I guess, different titles that a person goes through before they become a saint.

And the most important step is into the ground. So first and foremost, you got to, you got to die. That's right. Yeah, be dead. You'll be dead. You do. This is post mortem here.

Because, yeah, we don't believe in one saved always save you can lose your salvation. I mean, if you live the life of a perfect sainthood and then all of a sudden, you make crack rabbits too.

Yeah, you get the old bounce key from the old probably that's going to be your temptation. She'll it is. We don't know how you're tempted. Yeah. So when it's my feast, everyone's going to make crack rabbits.
