Canonization is a money stream for the RCC.  Largely religious orders get their man/woman canonized because they are willing to cough up the money to go through the process.  The patron of the family of St. Andrew Avelino, after he got canonized, told the family, "No more saints in the family. Too expensive."
p.s. "Canonized" is a fun term.  Remember movie, Private War of Major Benson?"
A retired military officer was being interviewed for position as head of a military school run by nuns.
While walking through corridor they passed large portrait of the mother foundress. The nun tour guide stopped, pointed her out, and said she was canonized.  His reply,  "So sorry to hear that!" (thinking in militarily).
RCs create their own universe, no?
