July 7

True justice will not be denied and cannot be rushed. Sometimes it takes a little time to come to a decision about how to best serve the interests of society. On the 7th in 1456, Joan of Arc[i] was acquitted of the charge of heresy. It seems more than a little unfortunate that had been burnt at the stake on May 30, 1431.

[i] Joan was beatified by Pope Pius X on April 11, 1909. She was canonized on May 16, 1920 by Pope Benedict XV.
