Pope Benedict XVI on 20 December conferred on him the title Venerable and Pope Francis beatified him on 19 October 2014 after the recognition of a miracle attributed to his intercession. On Wednesday, through a Decree of Promulgation, Pope Francis confirmed the recognition of yet another miracle obligatory for his canonization. His liturgical feast is celebrated on the date of his birth on 26 September.
