Beatification Process Set for Innocent XI This Sunday
Pope Innocent XI, born Benedetto Odescalchi in 1611 Como, will be beatified Sunday in Rome. The ceremony at St Peter's will include the papal ring and crypt procession, with the beatified pope's body staged in a crystal coffin before veneration at St Peter's Basilica. The beatification follows a process begun in 1714 and honors his long papacy from the Quirinale Palace Rome to modern Rome.
