Pope Paul VI will be
beatified by Pope Francis at the end of the extraordinary synod
of the family at a Mass in St Peter's Square at 10:30 on October
19, the Vatican said Friday.
Paul VI, who was pope from 1963 until his death in 1978,
got the go-ahead for beatification in May when the Vatican's
Congregation for the Causes of Saints said that he
performed a miracle by intervening in the inexplicable healing
of an unborn child.
Beatification is the half-way stage to sainthood.
