Answer
Pope John Paul II beatified Pope Pius IX, who served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1846 to 1878. This process of beatification recognizes the deceased individual's virtuous life and allows for their veneration within the Catholic faith. Beatification is a significant step towards possible canonization, or sainthood, which requires further evidence of miraculous interventions attributed to the individual after their death.
