Beatification of an English Cardinal

I recently read an article Boston Globe (which, incidentally is probably not long for this world) suggesting that the Vatican confirmed a miracle in the case of a local man with back pain.  This is a major step in the sainthood hopes for Cardinal John Henry Newman, a 19th Century British Cardinal.  I was dubious of the report when I read it, but not as dubious as the blogger at Bostonist!

I know this doesn't have much to do with folklore, but I found it interesting nonetheless.  Stay tuned for updates on recent folklore books!
