The process of Innocent's beatification was introduced in 1714 by Benedict XIV and continued by Clement XI and Clement XII; but French influence and the accusation of Jansenism caused it to be suspended in 1744. In the 20th century it was reintroduced, and Pope Pius XII (193958) announced his beatification on 7 October 1956. The feast day of Pope Blessed Innocent XI is 12 August, the date of his death.

Pope Blessed Innocent XI (16 May 1611 12 August 1689), born Benedetto Odescalchi, was Pope of the Roman Catholic Church from 1676 to 1689.

His body today lies with the bodies of Pope St Pius X (190314) and Blessed Pope John XXIII (195863) at the Vatican. The face and hands are lined with silver coating. His monument (1697-1704) in Saint Peter's was designed and sculpted by Pierre-Étienne Monnot.
