The cause of Venerable Fulton Sheen faced a six-year battle before Rome — and now, on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, he will finally be beatified.
What stopped it? Why was the 2019 beatification cancelled at the last minute? And what does it mean that Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will preside over the beatification Mass on behalf of Pope Leo XIV?
We’re joined by Dr. Peter Howard, founder of the Fulton Sheen Institute, to unpack the real story behind the beatification of America’s most famous bishop — the man who brought the faith to millions through radio and television, and whose path from Venerable to Blessed was anything but simple.
We’ll also cover the lay-led Fulton Sheen Conference taking place the day before the beatification — what it is, who it’s for, and how you can be part of it.
