John Paul II en route to South Korea
The dossier is ready. Lacks only the signature of Pope Benedict XVI to begin the beatification of Karol Wojtyla. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints was put the seal of approval of the miracle by which, through the intercession of John Paul II, was cured of Parkinson's disease, the French nun Marie Simon-Pierre, 44. The meeting was held Tuesday at the Vatican and was attended by the cardinals and bishops who are members of the congregation under the chairmanship of Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation. Before Christmas but was held the meeting of specialists of the Congregation of the Medical Council, chaired by Professor Patrick Polisca, who called the healing of a nun "inexplicable." The case was then examined by theologians of the Congregation and finally by the bishops and cardinals. Amato Friday will bring the dossier to Pope January 14, which then would have to enact the final decree. John Paul II so it could be beatified later this year. The beatification will take place in Rome certainly, even if the Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow continues to insist that Benedict XVI will travel to Poland for the beatification of his predecessor. It seems unlikely that the beatification will be held April 2, the anniversary of the death of John Paul II, because the time is too tight. However, it could be October 16, the date of 'election of Karol Wojtyla to the papacy. But it could also be detected on a Sunday in June to allow for so many pilgrims arriving in Rome from around the world.
