List of canonised popes

This article lists the popes who have been canonised. A total of 83 out of 265 deceased popes have been recognised universally as canonised saints, including all of the first 35 popes and 52 of the first 54. If Pope Liberius is numbered amongst the saints as in Eastern Christianity, all of the first 49 popes become recognised as saints, of whom 31 are martyr-saints, and 53 of the first 54 pontiffs would be acknowledged as saints. In addition, 13 other popes are in the process of becoming canonised saints: as of December 2018, two are recognised as being Servants of God, one is recognised as being Venerable, and 10 have been declared Blessed or Beati, making a total of 95 of the 266 Roman pontiffs being recognised and venerated for their heroic virtues and inestimable contributions to the Church.
