One step forward and a demanding examination for Mother Scholastica |
The process for the Cause has reached the moment in which the Positio super vitutibus (deposition on the virtues) of the Servant of God Mother Scholastica Rivata is consigned to the Theologians for examination. The volume of the Positio will be sent to nine Theological Consultants of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. Each one of them will express his own votum (evaluation). After the scheduled study time and the written formulation of the votum, which requires several months, the “Theological Congress” will be held. The report of the Theological Congress, edited by the General Promoter of the Faith, will then be consigned for scrutiny by the Session of Cardinals and Bishops who are members of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. The Cardinal Prefect will then relay the conclusions to the Supreme Pontiff for the final decision and the publication of the decree on the “heroic virtues”. At this point, if the outcome is positive, the Servant of God is called Venerable.
