flag The Vatican approved Fulton Sheen's beatification after a six-year delay, citing a miracle, despite past scrutiny over abuse cases and disputes over his remains.

flag The Vatican has approved the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a renowned 20th-century Catholic preacher and media pioneer, after a six-year delay tied to scrutiny over his handling of clergy abuse cases during his time as bishop in Rochester, New York. flag Though never accused of misconduct, the process was paused due to objections from the Rochester diocese and legal disputes over his remains, which were moved to Peoria, Illinois, in 2019. flag The decision follows approval of a miracle—revival of a stillborn infant—attributed to his intercession. flag The beatification, a key step toward sainthood, will now proceed, though no date has been set. flag Sheen, known for his Emmy-winning television show "Life is Worth Living," remains a pivotal figure in American Catholicism.
