If the Church declares that someone is a saint, am I obligated as a faithful Catholic to believe that that person is in heaven?
 
Since canonization is an exercise of the Church’s infallibility – although beatification is not – yes, Catholics must believe that those who have been canonized by the Church are in heaven.
