A Vatican panel of theologians has unanimously voted in favor of the cause for sainthood of Father Joseph Walijewski, a priest with ties to the Diocese of La Crosse.
Bishop Gerard W. Battersby announced the vote in a statement. He said the nine members of the Theological Congress of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Causes of Saints examined documentation about Walijewski’s life, virtues, reputation for holiness and intercessory power, and returned a favorable vote. The vote allows the cause to proceed to the next stage, in which the Positio will be considered by the cardinals and bishops who are members of the Dicastery. Battersby said additional steps remain.
