Fulton Sheen’s Beatification: A Conciliar Saint for a Conciliar Church
The National Register portal reports on the resumed beatification process of Archbishop Fulton Sheen under Pope Leo XIV, with author Paul Kengor speculating that the new American “pope” may advance Sheen’s cause after a delay during the Francis pontificate. The article celebrates Sheen as “America’s Bishop” and highlights his media influence, while noting the Sept. 24, 2026, beatification date in St. Louis. Yet this narrative ignores Sheen’s deep entanglement with the very modernist forces that have devastated the Church since Vatican II, rendering his proposed “sainthood” not merely suspect but spiritually dangerous.
