[[File:Padre Pio Stigmata.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Padre Pio]] was the first saint canonised by the Palmarian Catholic Church after 1978. He played an important role in the early apparitions of 1968 associated with Clemente.]]
The Palmarian Catholic Church counts among the [[saints of the Catholic Church]], those [[canonised]] before 1978 by the Roman Catholic Church, but in addition, have canonised thousands more saints since that time, beginning with [[Padre Pio]] in the ''Tenth Document'' of Pope Gregory XVII on 12 September 1978.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=233}}<ref name="clementedocs"/> Most of this activity is due to Pope Gregory XVII, who stated in a 1987 document that he had canonised 2,164 saints, not including his canonisations of several "innumerable" classes of martyrs.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=233}} The most complete recorded collection of names of Palmarian saints is covered in the ''Palmarian Lives of the Saints'' (2012).{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=233}}

Of the 263 popes Gregory XVII recognised as his predecessors, he canonised all but 7 of those not previously raised to the altars. The ''Historical Review of all the Popes who have shepherded Holy Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ,'' based on Gregory XVII's visions and defined under anathema by Gregory XVIII to be truth revealed by God, asserts that [[Pope Clement V|Clement V]], [[Pope Clement VI|Clement VI]], [[Pope Alexander VI|Alexander VI]], [[Pope Leo X|Leo X]], [[Pope Paul IV|Paul IV]], and [[Pope Clement XIV|Clement XIV]] are in hell, [[Pope Boniface VII|Boniface VII]] will be in purgatory until the end of time, and all the other popes are in heaven, of whom 110 were detained in purgatory. The popes said to be damned are titled "Reprobate" by analogy to "Saint," as in "Reprobate Clement XIV." The ''Historical Review'' also extends the epithet "the Great," conventionally used of three or four popes, to a total of 147 popes, with the Apostle Peter known as "the Very Great," and various other epithets such as "the Peacemaker" and "the Convert" assigned, often in combination with "the Great." Non-popes incidentally asserted to be in hell within the ''Historical Review'' include [[Philip IV of France]], [[Martin Luther]], [[Henry VIII]], the [[Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal|Marquis of Pombal]], [[Louis XV]], [[Charles III of Spain]], and [[Jean-Marie Villot]].

Historical Catholic rulers, particularly monarchs were canonised including: [[Charlemagne]], [[Philip II of Spain]], [[Pelagius of Asturias]], [[Alfonso X of Castile]], [[Isabel I of Spain]], [[Mary, Queen of Scots]], [[Élisabeth of France]], [[Charles of Austria]] and [[Ferdinand the Holy Prince]], but also a president of a republic: [[Gabriel García Moreno]] (from [[Ecuador]]). In addition to this, the Palmarian Church canonised [[Christopher Columbus]], who, sponsored by the [[Catholic Monarchs]] is popularly known as a leading figure in the European [[Discovery of the Americas]], led by the [[Spanish Empire]] (the entire ''Twenty-Eighth Document'' of Pope Gregory XVII is dedicated to this).<ref name="clementedocs"/>

One large category of people who were canonised are the [[Martyrs of the Spanish Civil War]] (or in official Palmarian parlance, the "Holy Martyrs of the Holy Crusade Against Marxism in Spain"), which included a large number of bishops, priests and nuns who were killed during the [[Red Terror in Spain]].<ref name="clementedocs"/> Hundreds of named individuals were canonised, including a number of political figures, such as [[Francisco Franco]] (''[[Caudillo]]'' of Spain), [[Luis Carrero Blanco]], [[José Antonio Primo de Rivera]] and [[José Calvo Sotelo]].<ref name="clementedocs"/><ref>{{cite news|last=Macías|first=Javier|date=2015-01-03|title=En el interior de la iglesia del Palmar de Troya|website=sevilla.abc.es|language=es|location=Seville, ES|publisher=[[Diario ABC S.L]]|url=http://sevilla.abc.es/sevilla/20150103/sevi-interior-palmar-troya-201501021845.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602225745/http://sevilla.abc.es/sevilla/20150103/sevi-interior-palmar-troya-201501021845.html|archive-date=2016-06-02|access-date=2016-04-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Martín-Arroyo|first=Javier|date=2016-05-26|title=The Palmarian Catholic Church: a lie that lasted 40 years|website=elpais.com|edition=English|location=Seville, ES|publisher=[[El País]]|url=http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/05/25/inenglish/1464158613_478208.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160527162145/http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/05/25/inenglish/1464158613_478208.html|archive-date=2016-05-27|access-date=2016-08-16}}</ref><ref name="elc">Anta, Christina.

[[El Confidencial]]</ref> In addition, Gregory XVII canonised an "innumerable" group of people who fought on the nationalist side; although he categorised the war as a [[crusade]], Gregory stated that not everybody who died on the nationalist side was a martyr or motivated by the defence of Christianity.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=232}} In 1980, the Palmarian Church declared that Francisco Franco was now a co-[[patron saint]] of Spain, alongside [[James the Great]] and [[Teresa of Ávila]].{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=233}}

[[File:Anna Katharina Emmerick - Gabriel von Max 1885.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Anna Katharina Emmerich]] was canonised and declared a [[Doctor of the Church]]. Her Marian visionary works were a significant factor in influencing Palmarian doctrine.]]
There were other large groups of people who were canonised from certain periods of history, including an "innumerable" group of [[Irish Catholic Martyrs]] who died in defence of the Catholic faith under Anglo-Protestant rule.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=232}} Closely related to this were the [[One Hundred and Seven Martyrs of England and Wales|Catholic Martyrs of England and Wales]] who were martyred during the 16th and 17th centuries under [[Protestantism]], the names of many of whom are listed as canonised the Papal documents of the Palmarian Church.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=232}} Missionaries who in the [[Far East]] who died for the Catholic faith were also canonised in groups, such as the [[Martyrs of China]], the Martyrs of the [[Boxer Rebellion]] and the [[Martyrs of Indochina]] (including [[Vietnam]], [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]]). The Martyrs of the [[French Revolution]] are listed, including a large number of people who were killed by the revolutionaries around the time of the [[War in the Vendée]] and in the [[September Massacres]], as well as the [[Martyrs of Compiègne|Martyrs of Orange]].<ref name="clementedocs"/>
Saints from modern times canonised by the Palmarians include: [[Faustina Kowalska]], [[Maximilian Kolbe]], [[Josemaría Escrivá]] and [[Teresa Benedicta of the Cross]].<ref name="clementedocs"/> Various Catholic mystics, seers and visionaries, particularly those associated with Marian and apocalyptic themes, were also canonised, including: [[Girolamo Savonarola]], [[María de Jesús de Ágreda]], [[Anna Katharina Emmerich]], [[Marie Julie Jahenny]], [[Anna Maria Taigi]], the seers of Fátima ([[Francisco and Jacinta Marto]]), the seers of La Salette ([[Maximin Giraud]] and [[Mélanie Calvat]]), as well as the medieval [[Ramon Llull]].<ref name="clementedocs"/>

An [[internet hoax]] claiming that the Palmarians had canonised [[Adolf Hitler]] originated on a fabricated Palmarian blogging site and was disseminated through [[Wikipedia]] and other media;<ref name="Lundberg on Hitler hoax">{{cite book |last1=Lundberg |first1=Magnus |title=A Pope of their Own: El Palmar de Troya and the Palmarian Church |url=https://magnuslundbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/palmar-final3.pdf |language=en|pages=175–177}}</ref> the Palmarian Catholic Church has denied the claim.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lies and Calumnies |url=https://www.palmarianchurch.org/lies-calumnies-and-the-media/ |website=Official Website of the Order of the Carmelites of the Holy Face in company with Jesus and Mary}}</ref> According to the religious studies scholar Magnus Lundberg, the leadership of the Palmarian Catholic Church treat the continued spread of the hoax as evidence that the media and the internet have been coopted by enemies of the church.<ref name="Lundberg on Hitler hoax"/>
