Faith, along with her sister Hope and Charity were purportedly the daughters of St. Sophia. Tradition holds that all were martyred for their faith while still quite young sometime in the early years of the Church. They were not canonized as that process did not come into being until about 1000 years later. They were proclaimed as saints by the early Church which considered any martyr to be a saint.
St. Faith was not canonized. She was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of her martyrdom. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body. In the case of St. Faith, there seems to be a question as to her very existence. Was she real or simply a character in a fictional allegory?
St. Dorothy is a legendary saint who was pre-congregational. We do not know when she was proclaimed a saint.
There are a number of these "maybe" saints who were dropped from the
calendar 40-50 years ago. Among them were St. Christopher, St. Dorothy,
St. Barbara of Nicomedia and others. In most cases, local churches that
honored these "de-frocked" saints were allowed to continue their devotions
but the Church, as a whole, could not.
Until the 11th or 12th century there was no formal proceedure for
declaring saints. If a local bishop decided that popular acclaim and
devotion seemed to indicate that a certain person deserved sainthood, he
could proclaim that person a saint. This was often done with little solid
evidence. About 900 years ago the Church decided that the decision should
be made in Rome and removed the declaration of saints from local control.
Eventually, this office became known as the Sacred Congregation for the
Causes of Saints and its members are chosen by the pope. They examine
documents submitted by churches, clergy and religious groups from around
the world and make a decision based on all the evidence. This includes
any miracles that may have occurred due to the intercession of the
candidate. They then submit their findings to the pope who has the final
say-so.
Those who had been declared saints before the institution of the
canonization proceedures are called "pre-congregational" and most kept
their saint status after the office was instituted. However, over the
years some have had their official status as "saint" revoked. Ages ago
there were some very questionable individuals listed as saints. Somehow,
even Buddha was "converted" to Catholocism and made a saint, something
that was a pure fable. He was removed from the calendar long ago.
