The Roman Oratory of St. Philip Neri has the following official announcement up on the cause of the Beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman:
Rome, April 24, 2008
The Procura Generalis is pleased to announce today that the medical consultors for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously gave positive assessment on the extraordinary healing attributed to the intercession of Ven. Card. John Henry Newman C.O. which was presented by the Postulator as a "miracle" for the desired beatification.
Let us give thanks to God for this important step that accelerates the process of the Cause, which quickly should now come to conclusion.
If someone can provide a better translation, I would be appreciative, but this is no doubt the announcement we have been waiting to hear, which the NLM reported on a couple of weeks back.
The original Italian:
La Procura Generale è lieta di annunciare che in data odierna la Consulta Medica della Congregazione per le Cause dei Santi ha espresso all’unanimità giudizio positivo sulla straordinarietà della guarigione attribuita all’intercessione del Ven. Card. John Henry Newman C.O. e presentata dalla Postulazione come “miracolo” per l'auspicata beatificazione. Rendiamo grazie a Dio per questo importante passo che accelera l’iter della Causa, la quale in tempi brevi dovrebbe ormai giungere a conclusione.
