The general postulator of the Society of Jesus said he had begun compiling all of the writings of Jesuit Fr Pedro Arrupe and seeking eyewitnesses who can attest to the holiness of order’s late superior general.
The massive task of compiling a list of 120 witnesses, especially those who personally knew Fr Arrupe, should “be finished in about a year,” Jesuit Fr Pascual Cebollada, the postulator, told the Catholic News Service.

Pope Francis “gave several examples of Fr Arrupe as a person who helped us Jesuits rediscover our spirituality in the 1970s,” Fr Cebollada said.
Despite the Pope’s admiration for the late superior general, Fr Cebollada told CNS that Pope Francis will play no role in preparing Fr Arrupe’s Cause.
“The Pope is the last person in this long process of discernment in a beatification or canonisation cause. He is the last judge, and, in the end, it is he who approves the decree. So, he cannot be in the middle of this; he, or his successor, is the one at the end [of the process] who would eventually sign the decree,” Fr Cebollada said.
