A first: Pope Francis authorizes beatification of an unborn child & the entire family

Thanks to Theresa for sending me this from a facebook posting she forwarded around. Here's the story -

AN UNBORN CHILD SET TO BE BEATIFIED

---

Two days ago, Pope Francis authorized the promulgation of the decree regarding the martyrdom of the Ulma family. Wiktoria Ulma and her husband, Jozef, attempted to rescue Polish Jewish families by hiding them in their own home during the Holocaust. The Nazis executed them and their 6 children. At that time, Wiktoria was pregnant with her 7th child. She labored during the execution. The head of her baby was found between her legs. The baby also died. This is the first time that the Catholic Church would officially beatify an unborn child.
