Fulton Sheen’s Beatification: Conciliar Sect’s Canonization of Modernist Icon
EWTN News reports the conciliar sect’s decision to advance the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen (1895-1979), praising his television evangelism and “lifelong commitment to serve the Church.” Bishop Louis Tylka of the occupied Diocese of Peoria claims Sheen “drew countless souls into an encounter with Jesus” through his media presence. The announcement follows decades of procedural disputes, including a contested miracle approval and litigation over Sheen’s remains.
Canonization Invalidated by Apostate Authority
The so-called “beatification” lacks validity, being orchestrated by antipopes who forfeited ecclesiastical authority through heresy. Pius XII’s Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis (1945) declares: “The Church has no authority to grant any powers whatsoever to one stained with heresy.” The usurpers from John XXIII to “Pope” Leo XIV exercise no jurisdiction, rendering all post-1958 canonizations sacrilegious theatrics. St. Robert Bellarmine’s principle applies: “A heretic pope automatically ceases to be pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30).
Sheen’s Conciliar Complicity
Sheen actively participated in Vatican II’s destruction of Catholic ecclesiology, embracing the sect’s naturalistic evangelization methods. His television program Life Is Worth Living exemplified the anthropocentric shift condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “When men…remove Jesus Christ and His holy law from their manner of life…the hope of lasting peace among nations is abolished.” The program’s moral platitudes avoided condemnations of modern errors, fostering indifferentism through emotional appeals rather than doctrinal clarity.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen helped us recognize that the Church is meant for all people. He reminded us that as members of the Church, we are called to serve everyone, especially those most in need.
This statement by Tylka exposes the conciliar sect’s heresy. The Church’s primary mission isn’t social service but the salvation of souls through profession of the one true faith. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns proposition 15: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.” Sheen’s ecumenical outreach betrayed this truth, treating Protestantism as a legitimate path to salvation.
Miracles Without Sanctity
The alleged 2014 miracle—a stillborn child’s revival attributed to Sheen’s intercession—fails to meet traditional criteria. True miracles require complete instantaneous healing contrary to natural laws, verified by rigorous examination. The conciliar sect’s medical tribunals lack integrity, having approved fraudulent “miracles” for Wojtyła and other modernists. St. Alphonsus Liguori warns: “The devil can simulate miracles to deceive the elect” (Theologia Moralis VI).
Omissions Exposing Apostasy
The conciliar narrative deliberately omits:
- Sheen’s collaboration with Jewish and Protestant leaders in interfaith dialogues violating Mortalium Animos (Pius XI, 1928)
- His silence during Vatican II’s suppression of Quas Primas‘ teachings on Christ’s Social Kingship
- Numerous theological deviations in Sheen’s writings aligning with Teilhard de Chardin’s evolutionary heresies
Beatification as Symptom of Ecclesial Collapse
This theatrical “beatification” follows the conciliar sect’s pattern of manufacturing “saints” who embody modernist errors. From the Masonic “St. John XXIII” to the scandalous “St. Paul VI”, antipopes have systematically replaced true models of sanctity with ecumenical figureheads. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane condemns such doctrinal corruption: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to views irreconcilable with modern progress” (Proposition 63).
The true Church endures only among faithful Catholics preserving apostolic succession outside the occupied Vatican structures. As St. Vincent of Lérins declares: “Quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est” (“What has been believed everywhere, always, by all”). Sheen’s media-centric ministry—detached from the Traditional Latin Mass and true Eucharistic piety—embodies the conciliar revolution’s spiritual bankruptcy.
