Is the Pope considered infallible when determining who is and who isn't a Saint?

Very good question.

I think the question has not been authoritatively answered. The weight of opinion seems to be that the answer is 'yes, the papal act of canonization is infallible.'

How about saint Christopher? didn't they just recently say that he never really existed?
