Vatican City, Apr 1, 2008 / 11:55 am
The postulator of Pope John Paul II’s cause of beatification has announced that the report documenting the heroic virtues of the Pope is nearly ready, according to a Monday announcement on the official website for the cause of the Pope’s beatification.
The announcement comes just two days before the third anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s death.
The report is a necessary step in the beatification process.
Monsignor Slawomir Oder, the postulator of the Pope’s beatification cause, told Vatican Radio "In recent days, I have turned in a nearly definitive draft of the 'positio,' the report that collects all of the documents ordered in a systematic and organized way about his pontificate."
