Roman Catholic AnswerLiturgy is the official public prayer of the Church as opposed to private devotion. The Eucharist is the ultimate expression of the Church's liturgy, but the other sacraments and sacramentals, as well as the Divine Office are all part of the Liturgy or official public prayer of the Church. Anytime anyone, priest, religious, or layman prays their Breviary in their private room, they are an official representative of the Church presenting the Church's public prayer to God.

Can only Catholics be canonized?

The answer depends on what you mean by "Canonized." One who is "Canonized" is one who is officially placed into the "Canon" which is to say placed into the official public prayer of the Church. That they are "Canonized" is the Church's recognition of their holy life, and the fact that they are now a "Saint" or one who is now in heaven with God. Understood this way, the answer to the question is "Yes, one must be Catholic in order to be Canonized." However, this is not the same thing as saying "Only Catholics are in heaven" or "Only Catholics can be saints." It is to say that as part of the official public prayer of the Church, the Church can only give official recognition to those who lived their lives in full union with the Catholic Church. Someone who was a great Christian, but not in union with the Catholic Church might be a saint---but----they were never in full union with the Catholic Church. Therefore the Church cannot "canonize" them because to do so would be to place them in the "canon" of the official public prayer of the Church. If the Church were to do this, the Church would be giving implicit belief that "All religions are the same, it does not matter what you believe, all religions are equally valid." Some liberal Catholic Churches are known for adding names to the "Canon" especially in the "Litany of the Saints;" of those who they believe were a good person or are in heaven. Such a practice is NOT permitted.

Is liturgy a prayer?

Catholic AnswerYes, Liturgy is the official prayer of the worshipping Church: (Liturgy, from the Greek meaning a public duty or work; used the Septuagint [the Greek Bible] and New Testament, e.g., Luke i, 23, for the Temple serve).i. the forms of prayer, acts and ceremonies used in the public and official worship of the Church, principally in the offering of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, the singing of the Divine Office, and the administration of the Sacraments, and the use thereof. This must be distinguished from the public use of popular devotions.ii. In particular, the Eucharist Sacrifice itself, always called "The Mass" in the Western church but usually "The Holy Liturgy" or "The Offering" in the Eastern churches.
