Pope Francis approved a decree recognizing the heroic virtues of two women. It's the first official step in their beatification process.<\/p>\n
The first is Maria Cristina Cella Mocellin, a mother from Italy. She passed away in 1995 when she was 26 years old.<\/p>\n
When she was pregnant, she was diagnosed with cancer, but she refused to undergo chemotherapy to avoid harming the baby.<\/p>\n
Her story is like that of Chiara Corbella, who passed away when she was 28 years old under very similar circumstances. Corbella is currently on the way to beatification.<\/p>\n
The other new Venerable is Enrica Beltrame Quattrocchi, the daughter of a couple who was beatified in 2001 by John Paul II.<\/p>\n
She died in 2012, at 98 years old. She lived a simple life full of financial problems. She dedicated her life to serving others through volunteer work. She was a professor, and in her final years, she helped couples going through hard times.<\/p>\n
On the list of new venerables, the Pope has included Croatian Placido Cortese, who died at the hands of the Gestapo, who tortured him for helping people persecuted by the Nazis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
