Vatican Panel Backs Enrique Shaw’s Cause, Moving Beatification Decision to the Pope

The ruling follows prior miracle approvals, positioning Cardinal Marcelo Semeraro to submit the case to Pope Leo XIV.

Overview

  • An assembly of bishops and cardinals at the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints issued a favorable opinion on the cause of Enrique Shaw in Rome on Tuesday.
  • This vote is the final internal step before the prefect formally presents the dossier to the Holy Father for a decision.
  • Vice-postulator Monsignor Santiago Olivera announced the development from the Vatican and asked the faithful to continue praying as the process advances.
  • A reported miracle attributed to Shaw had already cleared medical examination and received approval from the Commission of Theologians earlier this year.
  • Shaw, a lay Argentine businessman who founded ACDE and died in 1962, could become the first Argentine business leader beatified if Pope Leo XIV approves.
