520 _aBetween 1860 and 1870, about 11 000 Catholic volunteers from all around world took up arms to defend the temporal power of Pope Pius IX against the king of Sardinia, who wanted to unify Italy. Ready to sacrifice themselves, they enlisted in a new corps especially created for them : the Papal Zouaves. Joseph-Louis Guérin, a 22-year-old Breton seminarian, was one of the first to volunteer. He died a saintly death only a few weeks later, after the first battle. Soon after, rumors of miracles due to his intercession began. A file was constituted in order to canonize him but was unsuccessful, despite about 40 testimonies of miraculous recoveries and a popular cult devoted to him that lasted more than a century.
