Answer
Canonizing saints was one of Pope Gregory XV's notable actions. Canonization is the process by which the Catholic Church declares a deceased person to be a saint. It is a formal recognition of the person's holiness and their intercession with God. Gregory XV canonized several saints during his papacy, including Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, and Francis Xavier, a Jesuit missionary.
