Croatian Blessed Aloysius Stepinac may be canonised after the Vatican approved a miracle attributed to his intercession. Pope Francis will now meet an estimated 20,000 couples from 28 countries in St Peter's Square on Valentine's Day. Catholic journalist John Allen has testified about Christian persecution before a US House of Representatives subcommittee. The National Catholic Register speaks to the priest involved in a dramatic exorcism case in Indiana. Michael Wear argues that Evangelicals "have a vested interest in Francis’s success".
