We have opened two or three cases of beatification. We've had to expand the team, the number of priests, because we have a number of requests to study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These are initiatives looking to promote hope in a country crying for peace and the defense of fundamental rights.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<br \/>\nTranslation: Claudia Torres<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardinal Pietro Parolin says devotion to Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez is a meeting point for a polarized country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":18613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QYJEhsqxieA","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bparolinvenezuelaeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bparolinvenezuelaint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47056"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
