Pope Francis approved a miracle on Wednesday attributed to Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio, paving the way for the beatification of the curial cardinal whom the pope considered a friend.
Cardinal Pironio was a bishop in Argentina when Pope Francis, then known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was made the Jesuit provincial in the country in 1973.
