In the Eternal City, on 17 November of this year, the Postulator Maria Victoria Hernandez handed over to the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints the “Positio” on the life, virtues and reputation for holiness of the Servant of God Frederick Kaiser.
The Positio is the document containing the main aspects of the life, virtues, writings of Frederick Kaiser and testimonies of witnesses. The volume consists of 1054 pages, plus 12 pages of iconography, i.e. photos illustrating the life of the Servant of God.
The printing house delivers the 45 copies of the Positio. Five of them are delivered to the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. Eleven copies of the Positio will be given to consultor theologians, appointed by the Dicastery. Each theologian will cast an individual and secret vote. The Positio will then be studied by the cardinals and bishops of the Dicastery, who will also cast their vote. If the vote is positive, then the Pope promulgates the Decree of heroicity of virtues by which the Servant of God is declared Venerable.
The Postulator Maria Victoria, Mother Inmaculata, Mother Hedwig, Mother Benilde and Mother Benilde collaborated closely with the Postulator in the preparation of the Positio. And of course the Rapporteur, Mgr Tagliaferri.
