Pope Leo I was declared a saint by general acclamation - precongregational. In other words, before there was a formal canonization process, as were nearly all the early saints. Often these proclamations came from a local bishop. Sometimes these bishops proclaimed saints whose lives were far from saintly, however. It was not until the 12th and 13th centuries that a formal process began to be instituted by Rome and removed this authority from local clergy. However, Pope Benedict XIV, in 1744, bestowed on Leo I the title of "Doctor of the Church" thus confirming his saintly status.
