Cardinal John Henry Newman will likely be beatified this year, according to the prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Cardinal José Saraiva Martins told L'Osservatore Romano that a decree authorizing the beatification of the Anglican convert and theologian is "imminent." The Vatican will also soon approve the beatification of Louis and Zelie-Marie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, the cardinal told the Vatican newspaper. Reports about a miraculous cure attributed to Cardinal Newman have circulated since 2004, and last October, informed sources in Rome indicated that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints was nearing the end of an investigation into the miraculous healing of a deacon in Boston http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=55836 To me there is a difference between "imminent" and "will likely be" but this report should cheer the many who think this should have happened long ago.
