Given that the official saint you did mention did generally follow doctrine outside of being even more strict and pious than surrounded Catholics, there are plenty of saints who followed the road of ecstatic worship, it's a well trod path in the Church supported by the earliest traditions.
I'm not arguing that other Catholics aren't also bad at Catholicism, even those brought up in the faith, I'm just saying that Candace Owens is mostly just Catholic for the idea of tradition, less so than any actual adherence to it (outside of the tradition of a lack of adherence to tradition lol).
That said, the idea of there being a Saint Candace Owens based on her having dreams of Charlie Kirk is very funny to me.
