Sent to Rome:

Copies of a report on an alleged miracle that took place in 1999 through the intercession of the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen were signed and sealed Sunday by Roman Catholic Church officials.

The 500-page report and supporting documents will now be delivered to Rome by canon lawyer Andrea Ambrosi, postulator of the cause to have Sheen recognized as a saint. There, Ambrosi will argue to a Vatican panel that this case and another being prepared in the Diocese of Pittsburgh are evidence of Sheen’s sainthood.

I don’t know what the Pittsburgh cause is, but Ambrosi is the postulator for many current causes, including Cardinal Newman, Bishop Brute,Blessed Mother Theodore Guerin, Blessed Emperor Charles I of Austria, and others.
