The act of beatifying, or the state of being beatified; especially, in the Roman Catholic Church, the act or process of ascertaining and declaring that a deceased person is one of "the blessed," or has attained the second degree of sanctity, — usually a stage in the process of canonization.
Pope John Paul II beatified more people than all his predecessors had during the previous 400 years, and was himself beatified in 2011.
