Updated: The next Pope Saint? Miracle attributed to Paul VI, beatification October 19
Last edited Sat May 10, 2014, 02:59 PM - Edit history (1)
The beatification cause of Pope Paul VI has advanced with the Congregation for the Causes of Saints giving unanimous approval to an unborn child’s miraculous healing attributed to his intercession.
According to Vatican Insider, Pope Francis is expected to publish a decree soon that recognizes the miracle and officially sets a beatification date.
The attributed miracle took place in the 1990s in California. The then-unborn child was found to have a serious health problem that posed a high risk of brain damage. Physicians advised that the child be aborted, but the mother entrusted her pregnancy to Paul VI.
The child was born without problems and is now a healthy adolescent. He is considered to be completely healed.
