~ Confirmation of
Cultus (1) ~ |
|
Pope Sixtus V created the Congregation of Rites in 1588, which
was tasked, among others, to conduct processes of beatification and
canonization.
In 1634,
through the decree Cælestis Hierusalem Cives, Pope Urban VIII forbade
the existence of any public veneration on any purported saint unless a process per viam cultus
directed by the Congregation of Rites could prove that this person had been the
object of an immemorial public veneration [cultus ab immemorabili tempore] at least one hundred years before the
publication of the decree. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints (CCS),
created in 1969, possesses the competence accorded to the now defunct
Congregation of Rites.
The ordinary title given to someone whose cultus has
been confirmed is “Blessed”, unless the decree specifically permits the title to
be “either Saint or Blessed” [sanctus vel beatus].
In case the Blessed would be eventually canonized, the designation
[Bd.] would be used below and the date of canonization indicated in yellow.

During the Council of Constance (1414-17),
the bishops of Sweden and Norway, with the support of Eric of
Pomerania (1412-42), King of Sweden, Denmark and Norway,
formally petitioned the conciliar bishops to
canonize Ingrid Elovsdotter, Brynolf Algotsson, and
Nils Hemansson. However, the
council deemed it necessary for further
investigations be done on their fama sanctitatis atque fama
signorum. Thus, on 27 April 1416, the Council permitted
the opening of canonical inquiries for
these three. Although separate investigations were enacted and
their results were forwarded to Rome, decades of inaction followed.
In 1499, Sten Sture the Elder, Regent of Sweden,
petitioned Pope Alexander VI (1492-1503) to carry out the
canonization of these three, along with Hemming from
Turku. On 16 March 1499, the pope granted permission
for the translatio of their
relics, thus legitimizing their public veneration, until he
himself can canonize them. While the translationes
took place in separate occasions, the canonization of the four never
happened.
Political upheavals and the
beginning of the Reformation in Sweden during the 1520s stopped any
progress for the canonization of these four Scandinavian blesseds.
Nonetheless, the Roman Martyrology gives Brynolf Algotsson (6
February) and Hemming from Turku (21 May) the title “Saint”. |
