Equivalent canonization

The hermit Romuald, founder of the Camaldolese order, was one of the first saints to receive an equivalent canonization (in 1595).

Through an equivalent canonization or equipollent canonization (Latin: equipollens canonizatio) a pope can choose to relinquish the judicial processes, formal attribution of miracles, and scientific examinations that are typically involved in the canonization of a saint. This can take place when the saint has been venerated since ancient times and continuously by the faithful.
