The Comedy of Canonization: In Four Scenes is a play written by Milo Mahan in 1868. The play is a satire on the process of canonization in the Catholic Church, which is the process of declaring a person a saint. The play is divided into four scenes, each of which presents a different aspect of the canonization process. The first scene presents a group of cardinals discussing the merits of a potential saint, while the second scene features a group of nuns who are attempting to influence the decision-making process. The third scene features a group of laypeople who are trying to curry favor with the Church by supporting the canonization of a particular person, while the fourth scene presents the final decision-making process. Throughout the play, Mahan pokes fun at the various individuals and groups involved in the canonization process, highlighting the absurdities and contradictions inherent in the system. Overall, The Comedy of Canonization is a witty and irreverent critique of the Catholic Church's approach to sainthood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
