Cause for Father Capodanno Gets A Lift After Delay, Panel to Probe Sainthood Push
The cause for sainthood for Maryknoll Father Vincent Capodanno, a U.S. Navy chaplain killed ministering to wounded Marines on a Vietnam War battlefield, has moved slightly forward, say those advocating canonization for the man they called the “grunt padre.” Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese of the Military Services, USA, will appoint a three-member historical commission to help address issues that have slowed the canonization cause for Father Capodanno, who was a native of Staten Island. Father Capodanno died in September 1967 while helping wounded U.S. Marines and sailors during a pitched battle against communist troops. His heroism earned him the Medal of Honor, and his cause for canonization opened in 2002.
