Why does the Roman Catholic Church canonize people to sainthood?
The Church does not make saints, only God can do that. The Church has developed a lengthy and meticulous process called the canonization process to verify that the person is indeed in Heaven and would make a good role model.
Who was canonized a saint while they were alive?
No person is ever canonized while still living. If it ever happened in history (I have no knowledge of it) it was a monumental blunder. The idea of canonization into sainthood in the Roman Catholic church is that it is a reliable declaration that the person's soul has ascended into heaven.
Can a Church of England person receive communion in a Catholic Church?

Has any person not a Roman Catholic ever been canonized in the RC church could Anastasia theoretically be so honored?
St. Joseph, St. Anne, St. Joachim, St. John the Baptist, St. Elizabeth and St. Zachary were Jews but are considered as saints. Anastasia was not a Catholic but Orthodox and would not be considered for sainthood except in the Russian Orthodox Church.
What is beatified in the terms of the Catholic church?
In the Catholic church, beatification is a recognition given to individuals who are believed to be in heaven because of their faith and virtue. It is a step in the process towards sainthood, and those who are beatified are called "Blessed." Beatification allows for public veneration of the individual in specific regions or groups.

What is the definition of canonization in the Catholic Catechism?
Canonization means that the Pope makes a beautified person a saint. The answer above is partially correct; however, there is a little more to it. A lay person can only be canonized after they have performed three miracles and these miracles have to be documented by the Catholic Church. When that has been done, then this person will be canonized a Saint. I'm not sure, but I think one of the last people to be canonized a Saint was Mother Theresa. Canonization is the lengthy process by which a candidate's sainthood is verified by the Catholic Church. There has to be no doubt that the person is in Heaven.
Can a Catholic and Episcopal married couple be buried together?
