context_page_description: Pierina Morosini was an Italian Roman Catholic from Bergamo and was killed after a man tried to rape her. Morosini served as a member of the Catholic Action movement.
  Her beatification was held on 4 October 1987 in Saint Peter's Basilica.
context_section_description: The beatification cause commenced on 17 November 1979 after Morosini was titled as a Servant of God and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause; the diocesan process spanned from 7 April 1980 until 28 May 1983 and received C.C.S. validation on 17 February 1984 before the latter received the Positio dossier in 1986. Theologians approved the cause on 13 January 1987 while the C.C.S. did so as well on 3 July 1987; Pope John Paul II confirmed that Morosini had died "in defensum castitatis" and therefore approved her beatification on 3 July 1987.
  John Paul II beatified Morosini on 4 October 1987 in Saint Peter's Basilica.
