Cardinal Semeraro opens conference on sanctity in history
Vatican
Cardinal Marcello Semeraro opened a conference titled "Holiness in History" on Monday afternoon, October 19, at the Pontifical Augustinianum Institute. The Dicastery for the Causes of Saints organized the event to examine how historical research helps identify how grace operates within a person's freedom, their specific circumstances, and the contradictions of their era.
During his opening remarks, Semeraro stated that while a saint lives within history, they also provide it with a new direction. The conference is scheduled to continue through Wednesday, October 21. Participants are expected to attend an audience with Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday morning, followed by the concluding sessions of the meeting in the afternoon.
