The path to sainthood is not an easy one, but, nonetheless, a remarkable number of popes have managed to be canonized. In total, 83 popes have become saints. But although this may seem like a big number, considering the Catholic Church is nearly 2,000 years old and that there have been 267 popes, it's not that disproportionate.
Indeed, canonization was almost a given for the first popes of the early Church. This changed over the years, however, with the number reducing drastically over the last millennium.
