Partial list
I've noticed that the "partial list of pending causes" section is getting far too long, more so in the Servants of God section. Should each part of the overall section be limited to around ten notable causes and leave it at that? These sections shouldn't be for an endless list but just a few examples.

"Cause" of a saint?
What do we mean here by the "cause" of a saint, as in "The congregation dealt both with regulating divine worship and the causes of saints"? The reason for why someone is a saint? The principles or movements that the saints are working for? A matter to be resolved in a court of law? Enervation (talk) 16:25, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , it means the cause for canonization. When a holy person dies, their cause is opened in a specific place with a specific leader of the cause. The cause is then pursued through decades or centuries as they progress through the stages of sainthood and finally, canonization. Elizium23 (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Lists of blesseds, venerables, etc.
Why do we need lists of causes here? We have plenty of articles with lists of blesseds, venerables, servants of God. This is duplication of effort and unsourced at that. I think this article should be reserved for a profile of the dicastery which it describes. Elizium23 (talk) 11:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

== regarding the congregation for the causes of saints. i was disappointed to see that the sections regarding ongoing processes of those being considered for sainthood, beatification and servant of god were deleted. i found them very interesting and wondered why they were left off in the january 18 revision.

Where are the lists of those being currently considered?
