December 11, 2009 marks a step forward for the cause of Mother M. Scholastica with the delivery of the POSITIO to the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints.
POSITIO is a Latin term which, in our case, signifies a thesis, treatise, theme…
To understand how the POSITIO is compiled and what it contains; we will briefly review its history.
In 1992, following the five year interval after the death required by the norms, the Postulator General of the Pauline Family, Fr. Stefano Lamera, presented the request to the Bishop of Alba for the opening of the diocesan investigation for the beatification and canonization of the first Mother of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master: Sr. M. Scholastica Rivata.
