It was reiterated that the working body under the auspices of the Holy See composed of representatives of the Catholic Church and the Serbian Orthodox Church will not enter into the cause of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, which has already been concluded by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

Visiting a church in which the mortal remains of St. Leopold Bogdan Mandić are exhibited, together with the customary prayers, is associated with the obtaining of a jubilee indulgence.
