medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Laura, *Canonization *is one specialized type of case that came to be reserved during medieval times to the exclusive judgement of the Holy See. A recent review of the full history of the evolution of this process is provided in by Jason Aaron Gray in *The Evolution of the Promoter of the Faith in Causes of Beatification and Canonization: a Study of the Law of 1917 and 1983, a *Doctoral Thesis submitted to the Pontifica Univesita Lateranense, 2015. The office of *Promoter of the Faith* is what we all jokingly call the *Devil's Advocate*. A fascinating read.
