Equivalent canonization
Canonization process used for beatified who already have a cultus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equivalent canonization or equipollent canonization (Latin: equipollens canonizatio) is a form of canonization that occurs when the pope recognizes and orders the public and universal veneration of a Servant of God, without having gone through the procedure normally required by formal canonization, because veneration of the saint has been carried out since ancient times and continuously by the Church.
