The Vatican's continuing work on Blessed John Paul II's cause for sainthood cannot currently be made public, said the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints.
"We are working on it, it is going well, and various documents are coming into the Congregation for the Saints," Cardinal Angelo Amato said, responding to a flurry of media reports about an alleged miracle that would pave the way for the former Pope's canonization.
He told CNA that at the moment, no further information could be given about the alleged miracle, as his office must maintain "absolute confidentiality."
The cardinal's comments came during the presentation of a book on the Year of Faith at the Pontifical University of St. John Lateran in Rome.
