Overview
- Pope León XIV approved a decree on December 18, 2025, that the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints accepted as recognition of a miracle attributed to Enrique Shaw.
- The miracle involves the 2015, unexplained recovery of a five-year-old boy in Suipacha after severe cranial trauma when fluid drained spontaneously and doctors could not find a medical explanation.
- León XIV cited Shaw during a visit to the Universidad Católica Argentina, presenting him as an example of applying Catholic social teaching to business by treating industry as a community that protects worker dignity.
- The Vatican still needs the Dicastery to set an official beatification date, and some media reports have incorrectly described Shaw as already beatified, creating confusion over the formal status.
- Shaw, who founded the Asociación Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresa and promoted policies like the family wage, was declared venerable in April 2021 and would require a second confirmed miracle for full canonization.
