The beatification ceremony had been scheduled for Dec. 21, 2019, in Peoria.
A master of paradox, Bishop Sheen restates old truths in vivid and appealing ways with style, insight, and depth of spirituality, the fruits of his catechizing, meditation, and preaching. A winning combination of Scripture fact, Church teaching, philosophy, reality, and composition of place. This was finally resolved in June of 2019 when the New York State Court of Appeals refused to hear any further appeals in the case, definitively granting Joan Sheen Cunningham’s request.
It is unique in its readability, which is perhaps to unsurprising from a theologian with decades of experience bringing religion to the masses on radio and television.
Broken into five parts, the book explores the early life of Christ, his temptations, the beatitudes, his public life and Passion, and his death and resurrection.
On June 17, 2014, the congregation's seven-member theological commission unanimously agreed with the medical team's finding.
While it seemed inevitable that Sheen would be beatified in 2014, on Sept. Sheen's body was moved to St. Mary’s Cathedral in Peoria on June 27, 2019 and his cause was officially re-opened.
On July 6, 2019, Pope Francis formally approved the miracle attributed to the intercession of Sheen, paving the way for Sheen to be beatified.
A masterpiece!

Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979)
Catholic University's Great Communicator
Since its founding in 1887, no one associated with The Catholic University of America has had a greater impact on the world than Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. And he reminds us that the words of Christ are not "from another time." Christ is timeless and His Word is eternal.
Sheen's take on Joseph, Mary, Peter and the Apostles, Herod, Pilate, etc. The dispute centered on a tension between the desire of Sheen’s closest living relative, Joan Sheen Cunningham, to have his body interred at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Peoria and a statement in Sheen’s will asking for interment in a New York cemetery.

A charismatic radio and television personality and a zealous preacher of the Gospel, his whole-hearted embrace of modern means of communication gave him access to millions of American homes and, arguably, made him the most influential American Catholic of the 20th century.
In June 2012, Pope Benedict XVI declared Sheen "venerable." In March 2014, the board of medical experts who advise the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints unanimously approved a reported miracle attributed to his intercession.
Life of Christ - Fulton J. Sheen
Bishop Fulton Sheen’s Life of Christ is considered a classic work of Christian faith. A formidable scholar, prolific author, and Catholic University professor for 23 years, Archbishop Sheen was also a pioneer of the new evangelization. Sheen explains the meaning of Christ's words, as well as the significance of the trials and temptations he overcame.
(Don't blame him for the book's cover art!) The greatest Life told by one of the greatest wordsmiths of the dramatic, especially in the temptation scenes, Christ's conversations with sinners, and above all the Passion.
