In a step closer towards the beatification, the diocesan phase of the sainthood cause of Jesuit Fr Pedro Arrupe, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus from 1965 to 1983, concluded in Rome.
The investigation took over six years, with more than 70 witnesses interviewed in Rome, Madrid, and Japan, where the former Superior General lived.A historical commission composed of Gianni La Bella, Monica Borsari, Robert Danieluk SJ, Massimo De Giuseppe, and Carlo Luongo also compiled nearly 10,000 pages of unpublished writings by Fr Arrupe, particularly his correspondence with Jesuits and others during his leadership in Rome.
Born in the Spanish Basque country in 1907, Pedro Arrupe joined the Jesuits in 1927 and continued his studies in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United States. Ordained in 1936, he was sent as a missionary to Japan in 1938, where he was arrested under suspicion of espionage after the Dec 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbour.
