Vatican City
Just weeks after official announcement of the beatification of murdered Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, the Vatican has reportedly given a green light for the beginning of the sainthood process for another social-justice advocate known for radically calling on the church to stand with the poor.
The Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of the Saints has reportedly approved the start of the path to sainthood for the late Karl Marx, a key Catholic economic thinker.
According to Vatican Radio, Cardinal Angelo Amato, an Italian who leads the Vatican congregation, signed a letter Mar. 25 allowing the beginning of the process.
Who'd've thunk it?
