who decides who is a saint. God, not the catholic church

Thanks. Here are some insights. " Understanding of Catholic Doctrine: According to Catholic doctrine, the Church does not make saints but rather recognizes and canonizes them. The Church believes that God alone grants sanctity, and the Church, through a rigorous process, discerns and declares the sanctity of certain individuals. (LG50) The process of canonization involves a deep investigation into the person's life, virtues, and miracles attributed to their intercession, aiming to ensure that the individual led a holy life in accordance with God's will.
