Agrigento, Italy, Jan 28, 2021 / 02:42 pm MT (CNA).- The Archbishop of Agrigento and his coadjutor have written a letter to explain why the body of the soon-to-be Blessed Rosario Livatino (pictured above) will be translated from his hometown to the Cathedral of Agrigento.
Some people in the town of Canicattì, Sicily, have resisted the movement of the relics of Livatino, an Italian magistrate who was murdered by the mafia in 1990 at the age of 37.
Pope Francis declared last month that Livatino was a martyr, killed in hatred of the faith. His beatification is expected to be held later this year in the Archdiocese of Agrigento.
