Cícero Romão Batista
1844-03-24 – 1934-07-20
Life & Legacy
Cícero Romão Batista (24 March 1844 – 20 July 1934), also known as Padre Cícero (Father Cícero), was a Brazilian Catholic priest who became a spiritual leader to the people of Northeastern Brazil.
Batista has been declared a saint by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church. He placed 32nd in The Greatest Brazilian of All Time, a nationwide public poll conducted in 2012.
Despite many conflicts with the Church hierarchy during his life, official reconciliation with the Catholic Church occurred in December 2015. The beatification process was opened on August 20, 2022 after the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause) edict and titled him as a servant of God.
