Dalam [[Ritus Latin]] [[Gereja Katolik]], seorang Katolik yang sudah meninggal bisa dinyatakan sebagai [[Pelayan Tuhan]] oleh seorang [[Uskup]] dan diusulkan untuk [[beatifikasi]] oleh [[Paus (Katolik Roma)|Paus]] melalui ''Congregatio de Causis Sanctorum''.
<!--
In the [[Latin Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]], a deceased Catholic may be declared a [[Servant of God]] by a [[Bishop (Catholic Church)|bishop]] and proposed for beatification by the [[Pope]] though the [[Congregation for the Causes of Saints]]. ''The Venerable,'' is the style used for such a servant of God declared to be "[[Heroic virtue|heroic in virtue]]" during the investigation and process leading to possible [[canonization]] as a saint. Before a person is considered to be ''venerable,'' he or she must be declared as such by a proclamation, approved by the [[Pope]], of having lived a life that was "heroic in virtue" – the virtues being the [[Theological Virtues]] of faith, hope, and charity and the [[Cardinal Virtues]] of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. The next step is [[beatification]], at which point the person is referred to as ''The Blessed'', and finally canonization, at which point the person is referred to as ''[[Saint]]''. Two modern and well-known examples of those who have been declared venerable are Popes [[Pius XII]] and [[John Paul II]], who were both declared venerable by [[Pope Benedict XVI]] in December 2009.
<!--
The 7–8th-century English monk [[St. Bede]] was referred to as being ''venerable'' soon after his death and, by tradition, is therefore often referred to as "the Venerable Bede" despite his also having been canonized. St Bede was the first person to be recorded as ''The Venerable''.
