POPE FRANCIS APPROVES VOTE ON CANONIZATION OF BLESSED JOHN
XXIII |
|
 VATICAN CITY -
This morning, 05 July 2013, Pope Francis
approved the votes in favor of the canonization of Blessed John
XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli) made by the Ordinary Session of
the Cardinals and Bishops of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints on 02 July 2013.
The Vatican Radio reported on the
press briefing of Fr. Federico Lombardi,
SJ, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, about
this papal decision:
"This slightly unusual gesture was explained by Fr. Lombardi who
told journalists that despite the absence of a second miracle it
was the Pope’s will that the Sainthood of the great Pope of the
Second Vatican Council be recognized.
Fr. Lombardi stated that a canonization without a second miracle
is still valid, given that there is already the existing miracle
that led to Pope Roncalli’s beatification. He also pointed to
ongoing discussions among theologians and experts about whether
it is necessary to have two distinct miracles for beatification
and canonization. Certainly, he added the Pope has the power to
dispense with the second miracle in a Cause."
