I wonder who was the Devil's Advocate who screwed up in the case of Leon Dehon? Someone is supposed to comb through all the extant evidence, life and writings, looking for any negative evidence after the point of conversion. (E.g., Augustine was a big-time sinner before his conversion, but that doesn't count.)
Antisemitism seems like a big thing to have escaped the investigators. I'm tempted to say, typical French.
Yeah, if anyone will try to con you, it'll be a Frog!
In English.I am willing to listen friend.
The Promoter of the Faith (Latin Promotor Fidei), or Devil's Advocate (Latin advocatus diaboli) was established in 1587 and was in effect until it was abolished by Pope John Paul II in 1983.
Unfortunately, in the early 1980's the Devil's Advocate was dropped from the process of sainthood. Personally, I can't comprehend why they would drop it. I guess it accounts in part for the huge increase in saints and blesseds under JPII. :-(
