I am not sure which James you are referring to. There were two apostles by that name, James the Greater and James the Lesser. However, the same information applies to both. Neither was canonized. They were both proclaimed as saints by early Christians because of their martyrdom. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.
