Beatification Process for Sheen Moves Forward

Peoria Bishop Louis Tylka confirmed Holy See allows Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's beatification cause to proceed.
Diocese of Rochester paused Sheen's cause before December 21, 2019 ceremony due to legal disputes.
2019 inquiry cleared Sheen of wrongdoing, removing a major obstacle in his beatification process.
Rochester bankruptcy settlement of $256.35 million resolved financial barriers for Sheen's cause.
Mass for Sheen's beatification may occur in September, possibly outside Peoria.
