This is interesting...Although not Catholic, I may take a spin by if I happen to be in the neighborhood.
Without divulging too much personal information, I had a solid acquaintance out in the Midwest who passed on, a devoted Catholic (I mean, give-up-all-property-level devotion) who some of our mutual friends described as a "literal saint," and I've often wondered how he's fared along the road in the afterlife, and whether he's traveled on the path towards sainthood. TBH, I don't know what sainthood requires (miracles, I guess?), but he always exuded a good vibe. As my family tends to regard any sort of attempts to contact the dead as effectively necromancy, I will forgo sending any prayers his way...
