Everything is directed towards "holiness'
NEW PROCEDURES
IN THE RITE OF BEATIFICATION
Throughout her history, the Church has always celebrated holiness as an expression of the "wonderful things" the Lord works in the life of his People.
In response to sensibilities and historical contexts, the Church has paid special attention to the liturgical forms and procedures in which praise to the Most High is expressed and new life given to the faith and piety of the faithful.
These procedures and the significant wealth of such rites have also been carefully studied by the Church in light of the most recent ecclesial knowledge for a more incisive understanding and a more cogent effect of the very nature of holiness, which the Church celebrates with the rites of Beatification and Canonization.
Who was the pope before pope benedict
To this end, the Holy Father Benedict XVI has introduced important new procedures for Beatifications.
