Pope Francis Begins Special Canonization Process for 16 Carmelite Martyrs | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis began a special canonization process for 16 Carmelite martyrs who died in the late 18th century. The martyrs were part of the 17,000 executions that took place during the French Revolution, now known as the Reign of Terror. Operations Manager for Catholic News Agency and the ACI Group, Kelsey Wicks, joins to tell us more about this time in history and what it was like for Catholics in France. Wicks talks more about the martyrs and their remarkable deaths. As they are going through the Equivalent Canonization process, Wicks explains how that differs from a typical canonization process, why and how often it is used. The martyrs' deaths have influenced culture and art. The Operations Manager discusses more on that. She shares what she thinks we can learn from these martyrs and how their examples are still relevant today. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
