Excerpt from Lives of the English Martyrs, Vol. 1: Declared Blessed by Pope Leo XIII. In 1886 and 1895; Martyrs Under Henry VIII
But the most important legislation on this subject dates from Urban VIII., who in the year 1634 issued a famous Bull in which the process of canonization is minutely prescribed. It will be sufficient here to explain that this long process, which generally lasts a century and more, may be divided into three principal stages. In the first the Bishop of the diocese, where the servant of God is honoured, collects evidence by what is called an Informative or Ordinary Process, in order to satisfy the Holy See that the cause is deserving of attention in the Pope's own Court. If this is found satisfactory at Rome the Pope then issues a decree ordering the cause of the venerable servant of God to be introduced before the Sacred Congregation of Rites. From this point the servant of God is described as Venerable and may be so invoked, but in private only.

Excerpt from Lives of the English Martyrs, Vol. 1: Declared Blessed by Pope Leo XIII. In 1886 and 1895; Martyrs Under Henry VIII
In presenting the lives of these English Martyrs to the reader, it will be useful to point out as briefly as may be, what is meant by the title "Blessed" which is given to them, and how they came to receive it.
The Catholic Church venerates the memory and invokes the aid of those great servants of God who have passed within the veil, leaving behind them a renown for remarkable sanctity, but she does not show to them any public honours until their cultus has been solemnly approved by the Holy See; in other words, until their reputed virtues and miracles have been subjected to a long and rigorous examination and have passed through the ordeal unscathed. Then by a solemn decree the Church proposes these servants of God to her children as models of heroic virtue and as powerful intercessors with Him. The process of canonization has indeed differed at various stages of the Church's history.
