Another miracle for saint-to-be Newman?

CNS is reporting that a "severely deformed baby was born in a perfectly normal condition after the child's mother prayed to Cardinal John Henry Newman for a miracle." Cardinal Newman will be beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on September 19, the last day of the pope's four-day trip to England and Scotland.

From the CNS story:

Andrea Ambrosi, the Vatican lawyer in charge of Cardinal Newman's cause for canonization, has revealed in a BBC program to be broadcast Sept. 18 that he hopes the inexplicable healing may be the miracle needed to canonize Cardinal Newman as Britain's next saint.

..."I am about to leave for Mexico City precisely because that could be the miracle for his canonization," Ambrosi said in the documentary -- "Newman: Saint or Sinner?" -- excerpts of which were released by the BBC Sept. 9.

"We are in a very preliminary phase," he added. "I cannot say anything yet, but this shows how the cardinal answers these prayers."

Apparently the pregnant woman was told her unborn baby was severely deformed and that nothing could be done to help the baby's condition. But the mother, a devout Catholic, prayed to Cardinal Newman and the baby was born completely healthy, an outcome that doctors could not explain.
