Catolicii ar putea avea un nou sfânt. Irlandezii cer canonizarea unui preot-martir ucis în Primul Război Mondial: „A fost un erou”

An Irish priest, Father Willie Doyle, who died in World War I while aiding soldiers, may be canonized. A group initiated the process, gathering extensive evidence of his saintly life. The final decision rests with the Vatican. Father Doyle served as a military chaplain during significant battles and was known for his bravery. He died in 1917 while helping wounded soldiers. The campaign for his canonization is led by the Father Willie Doyle Association, which has compiled nearly 3,500 pages of documentation. The investigation into his life and writings is ongoing, with support from the Irish Church. His example is seen as relevant to contemporary spirituality.
