If being a Saint involves a process of being judged and declared by men, then it means you're not actually a Saint.

I think you people are overthinking this stuff. Let me try to help.

In sports, there's the Hall of Fame. In Catholicism, there's sainthood. The Hall of Fame is for those athletes whose peers agree performed their craft with excellence. Sainthood is for those Catholics whose peers agree performed their craft with excellence.

Got it?

She was already a saint. The canonization was simply official recognition of that fact.
