A process to declare Bishop Vojtaššák a saint is progressing despite past Vatican objections. The bishop, known for his work developing spa facilities in the Spiš diocese, has a controversial history. Evidence suggests his statements contributed to the imprisonment of a Jewish businessman. During World War II, senior church officials criticized his stance on the persecution of Jews. The Vatican previously halted beatification efforts, but the process is now moving forward, sparking debate about his legacy and suitability for sainthood. His connections to the far-right Hlinka Guard further complicate the situation.
