| Summary: | After explaining what beatification and canonisation are in the Catholic Church, the author presents a historical overview. It shows that, from an immediate and spontaneous veneration given to the first martyrs, the Church has arrived, through a progressive theological and legal development, at the current processes of beatification and canonisation which are long and complex procedures that make use of historical, theological, legal, and medical sciences. Après avoir expliqué ce que sont la béatification et la canonisation dans l’Église catholique, l’auteur en présente un panorama historique. Il montre que, d’un culte immédiat et spontané rendu aux premiers martyrs, l’Église en est arrivée, à travers une élaboration théologique et juridique progressive, aux actuels procès de béatification et de canonisation qui sont des procédures longues et complexes faisant appel aux sciences historiques, théologiques, juridiques et médicales. |
