How did I miss this? The cause of my dear patron, Blessed Brother André, C.S.C., has made an important step forward. From the National Post’s religion blog:
A Vatican decision has moved Montreal’s Brother Andre one step closer to being canonized.
The Theological Commission for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican accepted unanimously on Saturday the healing powers of Brother Andre, a pious porter at College Notre Dame who went on to found St. Joseph’s basilica. He has been credited with healing the sick, the lame and the blind.
A commission of cardinals and bishops will now begin to study the suitability of extending devotion to Brother Andre throughout the Universal Church, the final step before the cause for canonization goes to Pope Benedict XVI.
