no. 4 october - december 2005 Update: Office of the Postulator General
This cause received the votes necessary regarding the validity of the Apostolic Cause instructed in the Curia of Massa Carrara (Italy), from November 18, 1931 – July 5, 1932. This dealt with the presumed miraculous healing attributed to Ven. Angelo Paoli, in the person of Ms. Eglina Canozzi from a "collapsed womb with the loss of blood", which occurred in August 1927. The opinion of the specialist on the supposed healing affirms that "On the basis of what occurs normally in clinical practice, it is verifiable that Ms. Eglina Canozzi was inexplicably cured." At this point the Summary has been presented to the Office of the Revisor of the Acts. We are awaiting a response in order to continue the process for the study of this presumed miracle. The Cause of Ven. Madre Candelaria di San Giuseppe: The opinion given by the doctors in the office studying the Summary and the Acts of the diocesan cause, prepared by the Curia of Caracas, on the presumed miraculous birth of the child Milagros Candelaria, attributed to the intercession of Madre Candelaria, for the time being was judged to be scientifically inexplicable. We are waiting now for the medical Congress that will meet soon. This cause received the necessary favorable votes from the theologians in the "Specific Congress on Martydom. At the end of the Congress, the theologians voted unanimously (9 out of 9).
