Negative Positive
Title: Update: Franz Beatified
Review: I had written a review previously (see above). On June 4, 2007, the Vatican announced that the subject of this excellent book, Franz Jaegerstaetter, will be beatified -- i.e., declared "Blessed" -- and the normal requirement of one miracle attributed to him will be waived, because he died as a "martyr of the faith". This is the penultimate step before being canonized, or declared to be a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. It was Zahn's book that brought the public's attention to Franz's "solitary witness."
Is the review positive or negative?
