Line 9:
# Choosing of a vice-postulator by the postulator-general of the cause, to promote all the judicial inquiries necessary in places outside of Rome. Such inquiries were instituted by the local [[bishop|episcopal]] authority.
# The preparation of the inquiries (''processus'') all of which were carried on by the ordinary episcopal authority. They were of three kinds: (a) Informative inquiries regarded the reputation for sanctity and [[miracle]]s of the servants of God, not only in general, but also in particular instances; there might be several such inquiries if the witnesses to be examined belonged to different dioceses. (b) Processes ''de non cultu'' were instituted to prove that the decrees of [[Pope Urban VIII]] regarding the prohibition of public worship of servants of God before their beatification had been obeyed; they were generally conducted by the bishop of the place where the [[relic]]s of the [[servant of God]] were preserved. (c) Other inquiries were known as ''Processiculi diligentiarum'' and had for their object the writings attributed to the person whose beatification was in question; they varied in number according to the dioceses where such writings were found, or were thought likely to be found, and might not be judicially executed before an "Instruction" was obtained from the promotor of the Faith by the postulator-general and by him sent to the [[bishop]] in question.
# The results of all these inquiries were sent to Rome, to the [[Congregation of Rites]], in charge of a messenger (''portitor'') chosen by the judges, or by some other secure way, in case a rescript of the congregation you are a duuummmmmmmy dispensed from the obligation of sending a messenger.
# They were opened, translated if necessary into [[Italian (language)|Italian]], a public copy was made, and a [[cardinal (Catholicism)|cardinal]] was deputed by the [[pope]] as relator or ''ponens'' of the cause, for all which steps rescripts of the congregation, confirmed by the pope, must be obtained.
# The writings of the servant of God were next revised by theologians appointed by the cardinal relator himself, authorized to so act by a special rescript. Meanwhile, the advocate and the procurator of the cause, chosen by the postulator-general, had prepared all the documents that concerned the introduction of the cause (''positio super introductione causae''). These consisted of (a) a summary of the informative processes, (b) an information, (c) answers to the observations or difficulties of the promotor of the Faith sent by him to the Postulator.
