Canonization of Papa Santo Hastened by Miracle Reports
Vatican reports indicate miracles attributed to Blessed Giuseppe Sarto may speed his canonization. Miracle cases include a German woman cured after prayers to the pope, recovery of a patient touching Sarto's clothing, a patient cured from an inoperable condition, and a 10 year old child recovering from peritonitis after parental intercession. The process could conclude within months with a possible canonization next year.
