Does anyone know if Bishop Sheen is being considered for sainthood?
Dear Irenka, I am very happy to see that you are interested in the beatification cause for our professor-archbishop, Fulton J. Sheen. Yes, there is a Fulton J.Does anyone know if Bishop Sheen is being nmconsidered for sainthood?
I know you have your answers, but I just wanted to add my, “I am so glad that he is!” I love Bishop Sheen. If you can, turn your children on to him and his show. He is every bit as funny and interesting as anything on television today. More so.

One step lower. The title “Servant of God” is used to open a cause. When permission is given, the subject is then regarded as a "Servant of God’, which is not a judgment as to if they are or are not a Saint, merely, that they are worthy of investigation for Sainthood. I guess you could say that is the beginning research stage.Here’s the link to his cause. I got to this through the Diocese of Peoria website:
Abp. Sheen cause
Here’s an open question, is “Servant of God” the same as “Venerable” or is it one step lower?
