The Pope has revealed that Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati will “be a saint soon” after he strayed from a speech he was giving at the Vatican and made the "spontaneous" comment.

During a meeting with around 350 delegates from the Roman Charity association Circolo San Pietro (the Circle of St. Peter), the Pope gave a speech in which he discussed the good works of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, who was an active member of the Italian Catholic Action in Turin, and cited him as an example for the members of the association.
