Pope Francis agrees to beatify Italian anti-Mafia judge Livatino
On
Pope Francis
Pope Francis has recognized the martyrdom of a slain Italian anti-Mafia judge, paving the way for his beatification, the Vatican said on Tuesday.
Rosario Livatino was shot dead by members of the Stidda, the Mafia organization from Agrigento, Sicily, on September 21, 1990, a couple of weeks away before his 38th birthday.
Beatification is one step removed from sainthood, or canonization.
Following the pope’s decision, Livatino is expected be beatified in a Mass in the coming months.
The late judge was a deeply religious man, according to Archbishop Vincenzo Bertolone, the Catholic priest who is promoting Livatino’s sainthood cause at the Vatican.
