Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

In the earlier years of the Church, almost any bishop or archbishop could declare a saint. However, the first formal canonization by a pope was of Saint Udalric, Bishop of Augsburg, by Pope John XV in 993. In 1173 Pope Alexander III, reprimanded certain bishops for having permitted veneration of a man who was far from being a saint and ordered the process to stop. Only Rome could authorize a canonization. The procedure initiated Alexander III was confirmed by a bull of Pope Innocent III in the year 1200, issued on the occasion of the canonization of Saint Cunegunde. That was the beginning of the modern canonization process. It has changed a bit over the years, especially under the reign of Pope John Paul II who eliminated some of the requirements.
