(The tomb of Fr. Perboyre
on Red Mountain)
Less than 3 years later, on July 9, 1843, Pope Gregory XVI signed the decree starting the cause of Fr. Perboyre together with 42 other martyrs in China. All received the title of "Venerable". Soon Fr. Perboyre's cause was separated from the others as being specially favourable,because of the tremendous amount of testimony to his virtues and miracles already reported. The Superior General of the Congregation of the Mission was assembling all the documents, pictures, letters and other testimony that could be found. There were some delays because of political troubles in Rome and some documents were lost in the mail. After 20 years of investigation, the vote of the final meeting of the committee examining his cause was unanimously in favor of his beatification.
