[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Congregation for the Causes of Saints appointed a Relator for the beatification process of the Servant of God Eduard Profittlich, S.J., who is the Carmelite Rev. Szczepan Tadeusz Praśkiewicz, O.C.D. Mons. Praśkiewicz has been working in the Congregation since July 2020. His task is to supervise the entire work of preparing Profittlich’s Positio and later to submit it to the Theological Commission.
The Positio is a comprehensive summary of all documents for beatification, which is prepared by the Postulator in Rome together with an expert from outside the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. In the Apostolic Administration of Estonia, the Positio is being prepared by Dr. Marge-Marie Paas together with Father Pascual Cebollada, S.J. from the Jesuit Curia in Rome.
The Positio will be reviewed by nine theologians, who will cast their vote on the Positio. If the majority of theologians are in favor, the process will be forwarded for examination to the College of Cardinals and Bishops belonging to the Congregation. If their assessment is positive, the Prefect of the Congregation will present the entire course of the process to the Pope, who will give his consent and authorize the Congregation to prepare the respective decree for the beatification or canonization of the Servant of God.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
