 The process culminated on 3 July 2009 when Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree that recognized this 1927 healing was in fact a miracle attributed to Paoli's intercession and thus approved that the late Carmelite friar would be beatified.The Secretariat of State announced the formal date for the beatification in a 9 January 2010 communique.Archbishop Angelo Amato presided over the beatification on 25 April 2010 in the Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano; the Cardinal Vicar of Rome Agostino Vallini was also in attendance.
