Communio et progressio is a pastoral instruction of the Roman Catholic Church, issued by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications on 23 May 1971. It was prepared in accordance with the Second Vatican Council’s 1963 decree Inter Mirifica. The Council having abandoned the general use of the nihil obstat and imprimatur to approve publications, and of the index to restrict access to undesirable publications, the new pastoral instruction outlined the relations with public media that Church authorities were henceforth to adopt: recognition of the freedom of information and free choice of information, the legitimate independence of the activity of journalists and media institutions, and the need to educate members of the Church in the discriminating use of media.

These processes commenced despite the fact that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints did not issue their formal approval – or "nihil obstat" (nothing against) – to the cause until 30 March 1981 in a move that also accorded Rousseau with the posthumous title of Servant of God. One final process was dispensed due to the fact that there was enough evidence gathered in the previous processes. Formal conclusion to the processes allowed for the postulation to compile the Positio – consisting of biographical details and attesting to the positives of his cause – and submitted it to C.C.S. officials in Rome for their own personal investigation.
The beatification process for Farina launched on 11 April 2016 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints titled him as a Servant of God and issued the official nihil obstat (no objections) decree which would allow for the Brindisi-Ostuni archdiocese to open the investigation.

The Positio dossier was submitted to the C.C.S. in 2016 for assessment. Pope Francis named Riesco as Venerable on 5 July 2019 after confirming that the late bishop lived a life of heroic virtue. Riesco's beatification depends upon papal confirmation of a miraculous healing attributed to him that neither science or medicine could explain.
Initiatives to launch his beatification process started in mid-1997 on the occasion of the centennial of his murder.

In the Catholic Church an imprimatur is an official declaration by a Church authority that a book or other printed work may be published; it is usually only applied for and granted to books on religious topics from a Catholic perspective. Approval is given in accordance with canons 822 to 832 of the Code of Canon Law, which do not require the use of the word "imprimatur". The grant of imprimatur is normally preceded by a favourable declaration (known as a nihil obstat) by a person who has the knowledge, orthodoxy, and prudence necessary for passing a judgement about the absence from the publication of anything that would "harm correct faith or good morals." In canon law such a person is known as a censor or sometimes as a censor librorum (Latin for "censor of books").

Tomb from 2003. The process of beatification commenced under Pope John Paul II on 10 August 1992 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the "nihil obstat" ("nothing against" the cause) and titled him as a Servant of God - it was the first official stage in the process. There was an effort to commence the cause in 1956 but the Communists banned this and so an informative process had opened in Rome in 1957 before the cause was transferred to the forum of Poreč- Pula on 28 March 2000 while the diocesan investigation took place. The diocesan process lasted from 24 August 1997 until 11 September 2004 and later received C.C.S. validated in Rome.

The beatification process for Prennushi and other companions killed under communist rule took its first step on 7 June 2002 after all causes for each individual were transferred from various dioceses to that of Shkodër-Pult while Prennushi was made the lead individual for the cause. The candidates – including Prennushi – were all titled to be a Servant of God on 4 September 2002 under Pope John Paul II after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause. The diocesan process spanned from 10 November 2002 until 8 December 2010 and it received C.C.S. validation on 9 March 2012.

The beatification process opened on 22 September 1978 under Pope John Paul I and Mesina was henceforth titled as a Servant of God after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause. The cause commenced in the Diocese of Nuoro on 17 April 1979 after Bishop Giovanni Melis Fois inaugurated the cognitional process and later closed it on 11 March 1985 before the cause received the validation from the C.C.S. on 7 March 1986. The postulation overseeing the cause compiled and sent the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1986 for assessment which allowed for theologians to review and approve it on 13 January 1987 with the C.C.S. doing the same on 7 March 1987. Pope John Paul II approved the fact that Mesina had died "in defensum castitatis" on 8 May 1987 and therefore of approved her beatification.
The diocesan process for the investigation for the possible beatification cause was launched on 12 February 1959 under the direction of Archbishop Gregorio Modrego Casaus. But Pope Paul VI in 1964 suspended all causes related to those who were killed during the Spanish Civil War on the basis that further investigation was needed in order to determine if those proposed for canonization were killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and not for political purposes. These causes - which included that of Samsó - remained inactive until the pontificate of Pope John Paul II who decided enough time had passed and reactivated the causes. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree to jumpstart the cause on 27 January 1996 and the diocesan process resumed on 13 March 1996 under Cardinal Ricardo María Carles Gordó and closed later on 18 March 1999.
Bishop Benedito Zorzi began the initial steps for the beatification process on 10 January 1980 while the Provincial Chapter for the Brazilian Capuchins (held from 26-30 August 2002) saw them vote in favor to ask for the cause's introduction and to ask to be able to manage it. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints titled Pinzetta as a Servant of God in 2009 after issuing the formal "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause) decree which enabled for it to open in the Caxias do Sul diocese. The diocesan process was launched on 13 April 2011 and was concluded on 1 October 2012 after having interviewed 51 people and collecting 1500 pages of documentation. The documentation was delivered to the C.C.S. in Rome in 2012 and the C.C.S. later issued a decree on 3 May 2013 validating the process as having complied with their regulations for holding diocesan processes.
The process for beatification was held on two fronts in both Rome and in Sassari. The first process opened on 15 June 1857 and concluded its work prior to the formal introduction of the cause decades later on 22 April 1880 under Pope Leo XIII; this conferred upon her the title Servant of God. The second process was then conducted and was closed before the Congregation of the Causes of Saints revitalized the cause and declared "nihil obstat" (nothing against) to the continuation of the cause on 4 March 1994; on 11 March 1994 the two previous processes were validated so that the next step of the process could commence. The postulation then submitted the Positio to officials for further investigation in 1997 and the cause was moved at once to its historical commission on 22 April 1997 as is the case with older causes.
The process for his beatification took place under the tenure of his archbishop godson who initiated the process in Mariana on 16 July 1916 during World War I and later oversaw its successful conclusion on 22 February 1922; the cause's initiation allowed for him to be titled as a Servant of God. But Archbishop Silvério Gomes Pimenta's death in August 1922 put a halt to the cause. It was not re- opened until a later bishop - Oscar de Oliveira - received permission from the competent ecclesial authorities to do so in 1985. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints under Pope John Paul II issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause which would allow for its resumption. The archdiocese opened a diocesan process in 1985 which concluded on 10 October 1986 while documentation was sent in boxes to the C.C.S. in Rome who validated the process later on 13 June 1998.
The beatification process commenced on 15 December 1981 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" and titled her as a Servant of God; the diocesan process opened in the Diocese of Huelva and Bishop Rafael González Moralejo oversaw the diocesan process from 12 April 1982 until 15 September 1984. The C.C.S. validated this process in Rome on 20 December 1985 and received the Positio from postulation officials in 1990. Theologians approved the cause on 14 May 1996 as did the C.C.S. on 5 November 1996 which later allowed for Pope John Paul II to confirm her heroic virtue and name her as Venerable on 17 December 1996. The miracle for beatification was investigated prior to C.C.S. validation on 5 February 1999; a medical board approved it on 22 November 2001 as did theologians on 30 May 2003 and the C.C.S. on 16 December 2003.
The centennial commemorating his death prompted the Scalabrinian Superior General Father Luigi Favero and the Scalabrinian Sisters Superior General Lice Maria Signor on 24 June 1996 to send word to their respective orders of their intention to pursue a beatification cause for Marchetti. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" edict (no objections to the cause) on 7 December 1999 and titled Marchetti as a Servant of God. The diocesan process was launched in the São Paulo archdiocese on 5 May 2000 and was later closed on 28 November 2001 before the C.C.S. validated the diocesan process on 21 February 2003. The postulation (the officials leading and coordinating the cause) submitted the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 2008 for assessment. It first went to six historians on 22 January 2008 with five out of six issuing their approval which enabled the cause to move forward.
In 2011 initial steps were started in order to launch a possible beatification process in the Crato diocese. The formal introduction to the cause came on 31 January 2013 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree, titling Benigna as a Servant of God. This news was received in Crato just a couple of weeks later, therefore allowing the diocese to initiate a diocesan process to investigate her life, in addition to the circumstances surrounding her death, in order to ascertain if she died "in defensum castitatis" (if she died to protect herself as a chaste virgin during the attack). The diocesan process was opened on 16 March 2013 and concluded just a few months later on 21 September; the evidence was sent to the C.C.S. in Rome, leading to them validating the process as having complied with their guidelines for conducting causes.
The beatification process took its first step towards launch on 21 November 1991 after Dr. Benito Badrinas Amat was appointed as the cause's postulator (official in charge of the cause). The official request to launch the beatification process was made on 16 July 1992 to the Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid Angel Suquía Goicoechea who then lodged the official request to officials in Rome. The next step was to transfer the forum for the cause from the Pamplona-Tudela archdiocese to the Madrid archdiocese on 11 January 1991. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints on 8 February 1993 issued the official edict nihil obstat (no objections to the cause) which launched the cause and titled González-Barros as a Servant of God. Bishop Luis Gutíerrez Martín inaugurated the diocesan process on 14 April 1993 while the cardinal archbishop closed the process later on 1 June 1994.
The institute's General Council in Madrid in their meeting held on 18 December 1999 decided to lodge a formal request for the cause for the late priest's beatification to be introduced. The official request was made to the Bishop of Alcalá de Henares Jesús Esteban Catalá Ibáñez who then approved the appointment of the Dominican priest Crescencio Palomo Iglesias to be the first postulator for the cause on 8 February 2000. The cause was launched on 2 January 2001 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree thus issuing their assent to the cause being opened and titling Hernández as a Servant of God. The diocesan investigation into his life and reputation for holiness (as well as gathering his spiritual writings) took place from 3 February 2001 until 12 June 2004 with the evidence being sent to the C.C.S. in Rome.
The beatification process commenced on 9 July 1990 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints - under Pope John Paul II - declared "nihil obstat" (nothing against) to the cause which also granted her the posthumous title of Servant of God. The diocesan process spanned from 1 October 1990 until 15 March 1992 and saw the thorough investigation of her life as well as the visions that she was prone to. Upon the closure of this process all documentation was submitted to Roman officials for investigation on their end; the so-called "Roman Phase" commenced on 2 July 1993 after the diocesan process was cleared of having done its work according to the set criteria. The postulation compiled and submitted the Positio to Rome for further investigation while the large dossier included biographical details as well as attesting to the manner in which she led her life according to Christian values.
The beatification process opened under Pope Benedict XVI on 30 September 2005 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (nothing against) to the cause and titled Rivi as a Servant of God. The diocesan phase for the cause opened in Modena on 7 January 2006 and concluded a short while later on 24 June 2006 before all documentation was sent to the competent authorities in Rome in boxes where the C.C.S. reviewed them and validated the process on 30 November 2007. The postulation compiled and sent the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 2010 which received theological approval on 18 May 2012 and that of the C.C.S. on 8 January 2013. Pope Francis confirmed on 27 March 2013 that Rivi was killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and thus approved for the beatification to take place.
Chapel containing her tomb. The beatification process commenced under Pope Paul VI on 9 January 1976 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" ('nothing against') to the cause and titled her as a Servant of God. The cognitional process was then held in Münster and received validation from the C.C.S. on 14 December 1981. The submission of the official Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1986 allowed for a board of theologians to voice their approval to the cause's merits in their meeting of 12 January 1988 while the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. themselves also granted their approval to the cause on 26 April 1988. This in turn allowed for Pope John Paul II to issue his final approval and name Üffing as Venerable on 1 September 1988 after confirming that the late nun had in fact lived a model Christian life of heroic virtue.
The beatification process started in a diocesan process that spanned for several weeks from 27 November 2001 until 17 December 2001 while the formal introduction came under Pope John Paul II on 16 January 2002 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause and titled him as a Servant of God. The C.C.S. later validated the diocesan process in Rome on 26 April 2002 and received the Positio in 2005 for assessment. Theologians met and approved the cause on 2 March 2007 as did the C.C.S. members on 16 October 2007 which in turn allowed for Pope Benedict XVI to name him as Venerable on 17 December 2007 upon the confirmation of his heroic virtue. The process for a miracle took place where it originated in and later received C.C.S. validation on 14 February 2003 before receiving the approval of the medical board in Rome on 1 October 2009.
In 2005 plans were announced to consider and launch the cause for the late cardinal's beatification; national bishops made their "ad limina apostolorum" visit to Rome in November 2007 and sought advice on the matter from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The formal petition to the cause was made to Cardinal John Njue on 30 October 2009 and Njue wrote on 6 November to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints requesting their approval to initiate the cause. The latter voiced their assent declaring "nihil obstat" (no objections) on 1 March 2010 and titled Otunga as a Servant of God. Njue announced the cause would open on 6 August 2010 but did not set the date for its opening at that point. The diocesan process opened in Nairobi on 11 November 2011 and spoke to 171 witnesses in total while collecting 23, 995 pages of documentation regarding the cardinal's life and works.
The beatification process opened under Pope John Paul II on 6 February 1987 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the edict declaring "nihil obstat" (no objections) and titled Ginard as a Servant of God.

Theologians assessed and approved the cause on 11 November 2003 as did the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. on 17 February 2004. John Paul II granted the final approval needed for the cause on 19 April 2004 and confirmed that Ginard would soon be beatified after determining that she had died "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) meaning no miracle was required for beatification.

The C.C.S. validated this process on 22 February 2002 and allowed for the postulation to compile and submit the Positio dossier to officials in Rome in 2004 for further assessment. Theologians met to approve the cause on 20 March 2009 while the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. met and approved the cause in a similar fashion on 8 February 2010.

The diocesan process of the investigation lasted from 24 November 2001 until 11 January 2003 at which stage all documents compiled during that period were submitted to the C.C.S. in Rome for further investigation; the C.C.S. declared that process valid in a decree issued on 28 March 2003. The postulation soon after compiled the Positio dossier which would recount their lives and attesting to their killing "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith).

His beatification and eventual canonization has been on the agenda of the Hungarian Catholic Church ever since communism fell in 1989, and the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI was seen by many analysts as an excellent opportunity, as the Pope had commented favourably on Mindszenty's calling and legacy. The cause for the cardinal's beatification opened on 15 June 1993; he became titled as a Servant of God after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints assented to introducing the cause in a decree "nihil obstat" (meaning no objections/impediments). The diocesan process (collecting his spiritual writings and collecting witness interrogatories to attest to his reputation for holiness) opened in Esztergom on 19 March 1994 and later closed on 17 October 1996; the C.C.S. validated the process (as having complied with their regulations) in Rome on 8 November 1999.

The process saw 60 witness testimonies come from Brazil and the United States in addition to from Merloni's native homeland. The diocesan phase ended on 1 April 1998 with the C.C.S. validating the process on 7 August 1999. In 2014 the postulation submitted the Positio - a detailed dossier of 1385 pages on her life and holiness that examined her virtue.

The Manifesto Against the Death of the Spirit and the Earth (Spanish: Manifiesto contra la Muerte del Espíritu y de la Tierra) was a text published in the Spanish magazine El Cultural on 19 June 2002. Coauthored by Álvaro Mutis and Javier Ruiz Portella and described as an initiative to promote the ideas of the Nouvelle Droite, the text decried the "disenchantment of the world" and the "annihilation of the spirit's life", with the authors worried about "the disappearance of that breath by which men affirm themselves as men and not only as organic entities". The endorsements overcame a mere new- rightist profile, being actually ideologically transversal, with supporting intellectuals coming from both the left and right. The endorsers linked to the New Right, most often partakers of initiatives such as the or Hespérides and Nihil Obstat; namely Abel Posse, , Fernando Sánchez Dragó, Isidro Juan Palacios and José Javier Esparza became the coalescing nucleus around which the Grupo Manifiesto was formed.
The beatification process opened under Pope John Paul II on 7 January 1982 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause and titled the three teenagers as Servants of God.

The postulation sent the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1989 which allowed for theologians to approve its contents on 24 November 1989 and the C.C.S. to do so as well on 6 February 1990. Pope John Paul II – on 3 March 1990 – confirmed that the three teenagers were killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and beatified them on 6 May 1990 on his apostolic visit to Mexico in the capital of Mexico City.
The beatification process opened on 23 August 1973 - he became titled as a Servant of God - once the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the "nihil obstat" decree therefore enabling for the cause to open in the Trieste diocese. The cognitional process for the investigation opened in Trieste on 6 May 1974 and later concluded on 6 December 1977 at which stage the evidence collected was sent to the C.C.S. in Rome who later validated the process on 10 October 1990 as having adhered to their rules for conducting sainthood causes.

Pope John Paul II named Bullesi as Venerable on 7 July 1997 after confirming that he had practiced heroic virtue during his life.
At this point the Congregation for the Causes of Saints - under Pope John Paul II - granted their assent at the continuation of the cause with the declaration of "nihil obstat" (nothing against) on 8 February 1992 thus re-confirming the title Servant of God upon Prosperi. The two processes that had been held before then received formal ratification from Rome on 27 January 1995 and would allow for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to begin its own line of investigation in what would be the so-called "Roman Phase". The postulation compiled the Positio - documenting biographical details and her use of the virtues - and submitted it to Rome for further evaluation in two parts in 1998 and in 2000. In the interregnum between depositing the Positio a historical commission had to meet to see if there were obstacles to the progression of the cause. After meeting on 26 October 1999 the historians agreed the cause had no impediments and could thus proceed.
In the Porto diocese its bishop António Ferreira Gomes in 1977 ordered the establishment of a commission in order to explore whether or not a beatification process for Cardoso should be established; this commission helped set the groundwork and basis for the process in their initial investigation into the life and reputation for holiness of Cardoso. The cause commenced on 9 April 1984 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree therefore giving their assent to the cause and titling Cardoso as a Servant of God. Archbishop Júlio Tavares Rebimbas inaugurated the diocesan investigation on 6 June 1984 and later closed it just under a decade later on 23 June 1992. The evidence collected during this process was sent to the C.C.S. office in Rome where it validated the process on 22 October 1993 as having complied with their guidelines for conducting diocesan processes.

The process of beatification was held in Würzburg and was conducted in a usual form since it was conducted in two forms: the case in which miracles would be required and another in which a recognition of "in odium fidei" would be required. The "nihil obstat" (nothing against) for the cause was granted on 5 September 1988 which allowed for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to confer upon Unzeitig the title Servant of God.

The Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the diocesan process as being valid on 20 January 1995 and commenced the so-called "Roman Phase" - the phase where Rome would commence its own line of research. The Positio - documenting Soler's life of heroic virtue and including biographical details - was submitted to Rome in 2000 but due to the cause being deemed historical was sent to the historical commission for their approval before proceeding; that board met and approved the cause's continuation on 4 June 2002 and cleared the cause of whatever obstacles would have existed otherwise.
