"The question of whether a Denver girl was cured by a miracle courtesy of an 18th century missionary priest is now in the hands of the Vatican. The Denver Archdiocese has wrapped up its part of an investigation into whether Father Junipero Serra intervened to save Kayla Rebecca Kellog from severe birth defects before she was born. A local church team spent seven months collecting documents, including independent medical data, which is now at the Holy See for further evaluation. It’s all part of an investigation into whether the California priest is worthy of sainthood." (Steven Hackel of Oregon State University says taht Father Serra "embodies an evil system that promoted cultural genocide, sanctioned corporal punishment, and initiated the demographic collapse of California's Indians.")
