What are the steps for the pope to sign the beatification of Eva Perón

The arrival of a person to holiness can be truncated even before the pope has arrived at the study and must rely on strong pillars to go from the front in a context in which, at the present time, about 2,500 pending cases are proposed. by 450 postulators from around the world.

The first step of the cause of beatification must be initiated in the diocese where the candidate died. In this case, Buenos Aires is in the hands of Mario Poliand must be sponsored by the diocesan bishop and a postulator.

The so-called step "diocesan phase" A cause can last for decades and is based on the presentation to the Holy See of a report on the life and virtues of the person.

The Holy See, through the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, examines the report and issues a decree stating that nothing prevents the initiation of the cause ("Nihil Obstat" decree), transforming the person into "Servant of God", the first step towards holiness.

Once the Vatican issued this resolution, the diocesan bishop issued the decree introducing the cause of the current servant of God.

Once you get the designation of "Servant of God", the diocesan phase opens the way to the declaration of "Venerable"which includes five steps.

The first step is the process of life and the virtues of Servant of God, in which an ecclesiastical court "do not perry probationes", appointed by the bishop, receives the testimonies of people who have known him.

The second stage is the process of writing, during which a commission of censors, also appointed by the bishop, badyzes the orthodoxy of the writings of the author. Servant of God.

In the next stage, a rapporteur of the case prepares the document entitled "Positive", which must also include witnesses of the work of the candidate, as well as axes of his work and his life.

Then a commission of theological advisers discusses the "Positive" and he transmits his conclusions to a group of cardinals who elaborate the proposal which, in the fifth and final stage, reaches the hands of the pope, so that he finally dictates Heroic virtues so that the Servant of God is considered venerable. This path can also take several years, depending on the momentum given to the cause.

An example is that of the Catholic entrepreneur Enrique Shaw, which is Servant of God from 2001, and it would be declared venerable at the end of this year, according to sources consulted by the official agency Telam.

Once considered "venerable"the candidate is already on the path of "beatification"; for which he must show that he intervened in a miracle, demonstrating that there is no "scientific explanation" to a job in which he was invoked, or who was a "martyr", as in the recent case of Enrique Angelelli and his murder in the last dictatorship.

In case you try to prove your miracle, the work of the venerable is badyzed by two expert doctors who examine the case and then submit it to a commission of eight theologians who study the connection between the fact marked by the medical consultation and the doctor. intercession. badigned. It is only then that the pope will be able to sign the beatification decree, which could motivate an international trip.

For holiness, the last stage of the path of canonization, the approval of a second miracle is also required, whose demonstration must follow the steps of the first, following the advice of doctors and theologians.
