Sheen delcared Venerable!

Big News, friends!

Pope Benedict XVI and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints have declared Archbishop Sheen Venerable!  This means that Sheen can now be beatified once an alleged miracle is reviewed and declared a true miracle.  There is a good chance that James' (alleged) healing will be the miracle used!  Of course we'll have to wait to see what the Sheen Foundation does but we're really hopeful over here. 

This is so exciting!  Praise God!  Archbishop Sheen would be a wonderful saint as his works and life have already brought so many to know and love God. 

Right now all I want to say is  YAY!  YAY!  YAY!

And if you don't know what I'm talking about please see the Sheen tab at the top of my page.

I share your joy...all I'm saying is "YAY! YAY! YAY!" And I don't think it's a coincidence that his Cause moved forward on the same day the HHS Mandate is being decided. May Sheen, who wrote so much about religious freedom against the tyranny of Communism, intercede for our country.

Hurt-ey, I agree with you. The good news of Sheen's cause progressing definitely helps balance the sucker punch from the Supreme Court.
