Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Cause for Canonization has been moving forward quite well lately. I hear that it appears that the miracle needed for his beatification will be found among those which have been pouring in recently (one of them, which I believe may already have been verified, was from a woman from my parish). A concern is that since he was such a prolific writer, the review of his voluminous writings may not be completed for some time and could, therefore, delay the process.

For the review process, each document must be reviewed by two qualified persons. Qualified means: a Catholic with an advance ecclesiastical degree in theology (STL or STD). The Diocese of Peoria is responsible for the review and could use more help.

If you have an STL or STD and would be willing to help out in the review, Fr. Christopher Layden, the Moderator for the Fulton J. Sheen Theological Commission, would love to hear from you. If you know of someone who meets the requirements, please pass this on to him.
