A person or authority who officially declares someone a saint, or who canonizes (British spelling).
From canonise plus -er suffix meaning 'one who does.' In the Church, this typically refers to the Pope or an official church body that oversees canonization.
The Pope is essentially the final canoniser—without the Pope's approval, no matter how holy you lived, you won't officially become a saint in the Catholic Church.
