Beatification of Marzabotto massacre victims

Overview

Cardinal Matteo Zuppi initially addressed the upcoming beatifications of several religious figures in Italy, including Blessed Rosario Livatino and three priests who were victims of the Marzabotto massacre during World War II. Zuppi described the priests—Martino Capelli, Elia Comini, and Ubaldo Marchioni—as martyrs who chose to remain with their communities during Nazi killings, calling for peace and dialogue.

Following these remarks, the Catholic Church officially beatified the three priests during a ceremony at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna. Presided over by Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, the ceremony honored the men for their pastoral love and faithfulness during the 1944 Monte Sole massacre, in which German forces killed over 770 people.
