RAPHAEL OF VARTHA, RELIGIOUS
Raphael, a Minorite at Warth (Vartha) in Poland, is listed by Artur* as "Blessed Raphael". The Bollandists* mention him among the Praetermissi.
In 1468, Raphael died in such great sanctity that the paperwork containing his life and details were sent to Rome and examined there for the purpose of initiating beatification. (II.53)
