| Summary: | Canonization processes and the Church’s ideal of sanctity have evermore been formalized, rationalized and moralized. This development has, however, remained incomplete: the processes could in most cases only be concluded by means of a papal dispensation, which is why aegis and clientelism remained central legalities. Miracles maintained their crucial confirming function; the pope alone could exempt from their existence. Thus, 19th century papacy could integrate canonizations into ist goals: the defence of rationalism and modernity, the universalization and centralization of the Church and the promotion of the Jesuit order. In this manner, ultramontane piety propagated the evolvement of supernatural life in the soul and the empirical perception of miracles against the rationalism and materialism of the time. |
