Answer
No, Ricci was never formally canonized as a saint. Despite his profound impact on Christianity in China and his enduring legacy as a revered figure, the Catholic Church has not conferred sainthood upon him. Canonization, the official process of recognizing an individual as a saint, involves rigorous examination of their life, virtues, and miracles attributed to their intercession, which Ricci's case has not undergone.
