mateo elías nieves castillo

blessed mateo elías nieves castillo -lrb- 21 september 1882 -- 10 march 1928 -rrb- was a mexican roman catholic priest who was also a member of the order of saint augustine who assumed the name of elias del socorro when he became a member of the order .
pope john paul ii beatified him on 12 october 1997 without a miracle because he was killed `` in odium fidei '' and therefore did not require a miracle .
instead it was proved that he was killed in hatred of the faith .
a miracle is now under investigation for prospective sainthood .
