The cause for the eventual canonization of Papa Luciani (Pope John Paul I) is moving forward!
The official promoters of his cause met with Pope Benedict today, and the formal submission of the positio will be submitted to the Congregation of Saints Causes on October 17, the 100th anniversary of Luciani’s birth.
