The cause for his canonization was officially opened in 1992 by Archbishop Júlio Tavares Rebimbas. In June 2017, Pope Francis officially recognized a decree from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints stating that he lived a life of "heroic virtues" — a major step towards beatification — and he is now referred to as "Venerable".[2][3]
