When was Saint Agnes of Rome canonized?

Answer 1

Agnes of Rome was not canonized. She was proclaimed a saint by early

Christians because of her 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.
Approximately 304 AD.

Answer 2

St. Augustine was declared a saint before the official canonization

process was instituted in the 12th century. He would have been declared a

saint to the bishop by those who knew him best and were familiar with his

life and merits. The local bishop would them make the decision. Today

only the pope can declare saints after years of study by the Sacred

Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. The church does not

create saints. Only God can do that. The Church "screens" candidates for

sainthood to determine if they had a life worthy of emmulation. In other

words, do they make good role models. Also, the Church has to be assured

that the person is actually in Heaven. That is the reason that today a

number of miracles must be verified before a person can be declared a

saint.
