Mark Shea on C. S. Lewis and Canonization

Mark Shea has written a wonderful article on the nature and purpose of canonization, in particular relation to C. S. Lewis and the work he did in the name of Christ.

"Canonization is not intended to say that saints are in Heaven but nobody else is.  Rather it is intended to say, 'This person shows us how to fully incarnate the life of Jesus in union with the Catholic Church, in which the fullness of the revelation subsists.'"
