If you found a reference to them as "Saint", they are canonized. If they were only beatified they would not be known as "Saint", but "Blessed".

The banned teeny-bopper, Alex J. Ruiz, is out of prison and back to pester us, I see. His latest:
"No where in scripture do you see a man being named a saint by another man, therefore the popes have no authority from God to declare who a saint is."

I'll amend that to say, "Nowhere in scripture do you see an ex-Catholic [like Alex] harassing Catholics on the Internet. Therefore ex-Catholics have no authority from God to harass us, especially when they have been banned."

For the benefit of lurkers, who shouldn't be misled by Alex ...
Canonization of saints doesn't have to be "in scripture" in order to be an acceptable practice. Canonization is not forbidden by scripture. Nor is praying through the intercession of saints in heaven. Deuteronomy 18 is irrelevant, because we do not "consult ghosts and spirits or seek oracles from the dead" in Catholic prayer.

God bless you.
