The cause for one of Indiana’s future saints goes forward:

Msgr. Frederick Easton, vicar judicial for the archdiocese, said that the commission, having reviewed not only the miracle but also all the acts of the Cause, “decided there was nothing contrary to faith or morals in the miracle and life of the Blessed.”

The vote of the commission was six in favor with one abstention.

The next step toward canonization, Msgr. Easton said, will likely be a vote taken during a “congresso,” which is “a regular meeting of the voting cardinals and bishops attached to the congregation for the Causes of Saints.”

“From what [the postulator] told me a long time ago, the congregation would then recommend the Cause to the Holy Father,” he said.
