medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture "Ulric, the first saint known to have been canonized by a pope (in 993)" A little explanation, please, for the saintly challenged. First, I had this notion that Bruno was the first officially canonized saint. Did I dream this, read an ill-informed author...? Second, were all the saints before Ulric canonized by... popular acclaim? a local bishop? Thanks for any info.
