Happy Sunday. Happy mothers day to every woman on earth.

How many of us said the rosary yesterday, May 13th which was the Centenary celebration of Our Lady of Fatima? Well I did and I asked for a testimony this morning and I got it! I asked for different favours on different days and I believe in my heart, Our Lady of Fatima will answer my petition. During this May devotion, don't relent, pick up your rosary and keep praying. Have a blessed week.

You again! Nne am going to relocate to your area, make I de collect the testimonies wey de fall throway abeg.

A splendid Sunday to you.

Question.

Does the church use infallibility when she declares someone a saint?

Oga Ubenedictus don come this morning o.

Well i don't know for sure but i believe the church does since i am yet to hear of a case where one's sainthood was reversed.

Matthew: 16:19

"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

I believe with my whole heart that the above verse answers your question.

True, d answer is there, the church has the God given authority to make binding declarations....
the issue is that that church declears things with levels of clarity...the highest level dogma when something is infallibly defined,...is the church using its extraordinary infallible teaching authority when it canonises or is it an ordinary magisteria pronouncement?

"To these names others have subsequently been added to the liturgy.

The requisite conditions are enumerated as three:

1. eminens doctrina (i.e. eminent learning)
2. insignis vitae sanctitas (i.e. a high degree of sanctity)
3. Ecclesiae declaratio (i.e. proclamation by the Church).

Benedict XIV explains the third as a declaration by the supreme pontiff or by a general council. But though general councils have acclaimed the writings of certain Doctors, no council has actually conferred the title of Doctor of the Church.

The procedure involves extending to the universal church the use of the Divine Office and Mass of the saint in which the title of doctor is applied to him. The decree is issued by the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints and approved by the pope, after a careful examination, if necessary, of the saint's writings.

It is not in any way an ex cathedra decision, nor does it even amount to a declaration that no error is to be found in the teaching of the Doctor. It is, indeed, well known that the very greatest of them are not wholly immune from error.

No martyr is in the list, since the Office and the Mass are for Confessors. Hence, as Benedict XIV points out, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Saint Irenaeus of Lyons, and Saint Cyprian of Carthage are not called Doctors of the Church."

Nice one. I hope we don't misunderstand the confessor part (as I made bold above) to mean priests. Confessors in this sense are people who lived and defended the faith but didnt die as matyrs .

Outstanding holiness and sanctity
Eminent learning and writings
Proclamation by the Pope
Canonized saint

Thanks for the explanation, i got it.
Sometimes when you people write, i begin to wonder where i came from

Am begining to consider nominating you guys for "doctorship" abi na doctorhood.

1. One who hears confessions. A priest.
2. One who confesses, this is just in use of English. In the church, this person is rather called Penitent.
3. This is the one we're interested in. These are people who lived a holy life, most often heroic in defending the faith by their words, writings and actions, they only didn't have the opportunity of matyrdom, yet the Church recognizes in them an immense desire to witness for Christ with their lives. Other apostles of Christ are Matyrs, but John is a Confessor, even though they threw him in a drum of oil, but he didn't die. That's why on John's feast day, that our brother, that one...you know na, will wear white instead of red for matyrs.
