But regarding canonizations, the quotes I provided in my last post, along with every other reference I have ever read on the subject, all say the same thing - canonizations are infallible, no exceptions. These quotes fall under the everyday teaching of the Church (the ordinary magisterium), which is itself infallible by definition. If Pope Francis is a true Vicar of Christ, then his upcoming canonization cannot be questioned.
No.
Confirming a person has heroic virtue and safe for emulation is not, in and of itself, a canonization.
The decision to go forward with a canonization, the prudential judgement, is not in and of itself a canonization.
The non-infallible vague quotations you give do not prove the above.
Do you think John Paul II's actions are safe for emulation?
