 Biblical canon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fourth book in the canon is the Doctrine and Covenants, a continually expanding work written in modern times by the presiding presidents of the LDS church, and believed by members to be the voice of God for the contemporary world.
In addition to the canonical four gospels, the fifth gospel is the Gospel of Thomas.
Generally, the closure of the canon reflects a belief from the faith community that the formative period of the religion has ended, and that texts from that period can be collected into an authoritative body of work.

 Canonization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to some writers the origin of beatification and canonization in the Catholic Church is the ancient pagan apotheosis.
Most Catholic theologians hold canonization to be an infallible act of the Church.
The decision as to the martyr having died for his faith in Christ, and the consequent permission of honor, lay originally with the bishop of the place in which he had borne his testimony.

 Historical Sketch of Canonization
Canonization and the veneration of saints are as old as the Church.
Canonization derives its origin from revealed Catholic doctrine on the invocation of saints and the honor due to them; and the custom of paying religious honor to holy men and seeking their intercession is plainly asserted in the Old Testament.
In the canonization of saints, as in many other matters of discipline, a process of centralization took place, and more serious and solemn issues were referred to the Holy See, the central authority in the Church.

Canonization on the contrary, decrees the public cultus of the Universal Church to the saints.
Thus does the Canon of the Mass, with its mention of the name of the Pope, the bishop, the faithful throughout the world, the living, the souls in Purgatory, and the saints, recall the old diptychs.
But yet the first formal decree of canonization seems to be that of St. Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg, which Pope John XV issued in a synod at the Lateran of the year 993.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Beatification and Canonization
The true origin of canonization and beatification must be sought in the Catholic doctrine of the worship (cultus), invocation, and intercession of the saints.
Canonization is a precept of the Roman Pontiff commanding public veneration to be paid an individual by the Universal Church.
Canonization in the Catholic Church is quite another thing.

 What is a Saint? Catholic-Pages.com
When beatification and canonization procedures were not yet consigned to the authority of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints (instituted in 1588 by Pope Sixtus V) and to the Holy Father himself, it was the "vox populi" or "spontaneous local attribution" which led to the proclaiming of saints.
The penultimate step to canonization is beatification and the Holy Father has presided at 100 such ceremonies in nearly 19 years, proclaiming 770 blesseds, of whom 579 were martyrs and 191 confessors.
However, in 1988, to mark its 4th centenary, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints published the first "Index ac status Causarum." This book and its subsequent supplements, written entirely in Latin, are considered the definitive index of all causes which have been presented to the congregation since its institution.

 On The Canonizations Of Pope John Paul II
Canonization is used as a means to establish a bridge towards the other religions.
Canonizations can be of two kinds: equivalent and formal, in which the latter offer more guarantees than the former, and consequently the refusal to give them the assent that is their due would constitute a greater fault,
This judgment is considered to have been rendered when the Holy See imposes as a precept on the universal Church the celebration of the Mass and the recitation of the office in honor of the saint.

 Canonization of Saints - ReligionFacts
Canonization is considered a function of papal infallibility, as it is important that believers venerate and pray to only those who are actually in heaven.
As mentioned above, the purpose of canonization is to verify that the person is now in heaven, and all those who die as martyrs are believed to go straight to heaven.
The process of canonization is slightly more informal in the Orthodox Church.

The so-called Kaige Recension is the earliest evidence of a protorabbinic text in Samuel found in the recension of the Theodotionic School (Alexandria), dating from the end of the first century B.C.E. The Hebrew text used for this revision is protorabbinic, not identical to the Pharisaic Bible.

 Saint Pius X: Canonization Of Pope Pius X By Pope Pius XII
Perhaps for the first time in the history of the Church, the formal canonization of a pope is proclaimed by him who once had the privilege of serving him as a member of the Roman Curia.
The second distinctive characteristic for which Pius XII canonized his predecessor was that he was an intrepid champion "of the unity of the Church in her deepest foundations: the Faith."
The lucidity and the firmness with which Pius X led the victorious battle against the errors of modernism bear witness to what heroic degree the faith burned in the heart of the saint....[He] had the clear awareness of fighting for the most sacred cause of God and human souls...[with] the indomitable stamina of an athlete.

 Salt of the Earth: Dorothy Day canonization?
Her example of profound personal spirituality and sacrifice, lay leadership, and uncompromising pacifism makes Day a daughter of the church and a "Servant of God" worth emulating by all Catholics—and all people of good will.
The effort to promote Day's sainthood has drawn criticism from both church traditionalists and church "progressives." The former argue her political beliefs and "reckless" past make her a poor choice for sainthood, and the latter worry that canonization only trivializes the example of lay leadership and sanctity that was Day's life.
In 1987, we solicited more letters, in particular from U.S. bishops and Catholic leaders and people who knew Day as well as those who have been praying to her.

 Chapter 16: The Jewish/Roman War and Canonization
The important thing that must be realized is the fact that what we call the New Testament today records information about the formation of the Holy Scriptures for the Christian community of believers.
And since it was then apparent that Christ was not returning in that generation, it became imperative to bring together a set of standard books (like those of the Old Testament) for later Christians which would have the authority of the apostles behind them.
It finally became clear to John and his helpers (when he found himself in a renewed visionary experience on the Isle of Patmos) that the prophetic teaching of those visions had to do with the end-time generation, and not with that one in the seventh decade of the 1

At this point we may perhaps begin to acknowledge the glaring reality of his defects as well as their potentially damaging influence, just as today we easily recognize the vindictiveness of St. Jerome, the rigorism of St. Alphonsus de Liguori, or the neuroticism of St. Therese of Lisieux.
Especially in the Third World, bishops were allegedly told that financial contributions from Opus Dei might be in jeopardy if they did not answer the request for positive testimony.
