1986
The NIHIL OBSTAT
To pursue the work on the Cause of Mother Ignacia’s beatification, a NIHIL OBSTAT had to be secured from Rome which was granted on 20 October 1986. Without any delay, Cardinal Sin created an Archdiocesan Tribunal in November 1986. Those appointed were Msgr. Josefino Ramirez as Chairperson; Msgr. Hinigo Velarde, Promoter of Justice; Fr. Catalino Arevalo, SJ, Theologian; Fr. Pedro de Achutegui, SJ, Theologian-Historian; and S. Maria Isabelita Riego de Dios, RVM, the Congregation’s Representative.
