Phil Lawler writes: Tomorrow, November 13, marks the 8th anniversary of the brutal killing of Mary Stachowicz.
Three years ago I suggested that the Chicago archdiocese should open a cause for her beatification. Bishop Thomas Paprocki, who knew her personally, has testified that “she died as a martyr for her faith.” Read the whole story, if you aren’t familiar with the case already, and see if you don’t agree that she was murdered <I>in odium fidei</i>.
Her death was awful. But the suffering of Mary Stachowicz ended 8 years ago. Today, many thousands of Catholics could draw courage from her heroic witness– if they heard about it.
