An Essay on Beatification, Canonization, and the Processes of the Congregation of Rites (1848): Faber's account, written for the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, of how the Church examines the cause of a servant of God: the stages of the process, the roles of the Congregation of Rites and the devil's advocate, the proofs of virtues and miracles, and the meaning of beatification and canonization.
