Cardinal Oswald Gracias, the most senior Roman Catholic cleric in the sub-continent, said he will personally ask Pope Francis to start to process to canonise the ‘martyrs of Kandhamal’ in the eastern Odisha province.
He has ordered Church authorities to collect evidence of atrocities against Christians who refused to abjure their faith at the point of death.
Nearly a hundred Christians slaughtered in mob violence in India in 2008 could soon be on the road to sainthood.
Cardinal Gracias added: ‘I am willing to speak personally about Kandhamal violence and its martyrs to Pope Francis.’
