The
cause for sainthood of Blessed Hawaiian nun Marianne Cope has
received Vatican approval of a second miracle.
A
group of doctors from the Vatican's Congregation for Causes of Saints
declared there is no medical explanation for the cure of a woman who
was on her deathbed and made a miraculous recovery.
No
other details on the case have been released.
Before
moving to Hawaii in 1883 to help care for those suffering with
leprosy, Marianne Cope worked as a member of the Sisters of St.
Francis in Syracuse, New York. Her cause for beatification
has been taken up there.
The
miracle approved on June 16 must undergo two more examinations by
theologians and a group of cardinals before being presented to the
pope for approval. She could then be declared a saint.
