Sir Thomas More: author of Utopia 烏托邦 was beheaded for refusing to recognize Henry VIII as head of the new Church of England; More was canonized 400 years later (1535)
canonization:列入聖品;列入聖人級;宣佈為聖;宣聖;列品:教宗隆重聲明某些足為教會楷模者已升天國,並應接受教會的尊敬、榮耀和讚譽。申 請列品案件首先將候選人之言行、著作、聲譽、奇蹟(殉道者免)等項目交由主教審斷,經調查屬實後,送交聖座,再經專案小組審查,最後由教宗做裁決,宣佈其 為「真福」,可供某地區或某團體敬禮及慶賀。接著可更上一層樓,將此真福者案件送交聖座重新審查,經審查合格(非殉道者需要兩個奇蹟)後,經教宗裁決可宣 佈此真福為「聖人」,可供全球教會敬禮及慶祝。1983年2月7日教宗若望保祿二世頒佈了新的宣聖宗座憲令,聖部法令亦於同日頒佈。參閱 beatification。
