For most Catholics, the moment a pope pronounces the ancient formula declaring a man or woman a saint feels timeless — as if it has always been done exactly this way. It has not. The way the Church recognizes holiness has developed over two thousand years, moving from the spontaneous acclaim of the martyrs, through…
