[*Fr. Frederick William Faber*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_Faber) became a member of the Oxford Movement under the leadership of St. John Henry Newman et al. in the 1830s. Many of its members, as a result of the condemnations levied upon the group by the Church of England at the time, lost their status at Oxford (e.g., William G. Ward) and/or became Catholics---such as Ward, Newman and Faber (the latter two, of whom, had also previously taken Anglican orders.) Though Faber lived a relatively short life (49 years), he was a prolific writer and a zealous supporter of the Catholic Church. His writings, *e.g.*, [*The Precious Blood*](https://ia802701.us.archive.org/23/items/ThePreciousBlood/ThePreciousBlood_text.pdf) deal with topics most apropos to the confusion the Church is now suffering in the form of many clerics who promote ``gospels'' different from the *only one* preached by the Apostles. QUESTION: Has the cause for Sainthood of Fr. Frederick William Faber ever been formally proposed by someone (a group) devoted to the effort?
