Episode Description
With Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s upcoming beatification on September 24th, we have the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the Church’s process of recognizing holiness.
What does it actually mean when the Catholic Church declares someone “Blessed”? And how does someone become a Saint in the first place?
In this episode, we’ll walk through the journey from Servant of God to Venerable to Blessed to Saint, explore what the Church looks for at each stage, and follow Fulton Sheen’s own fascinating (and sometimes complicated) path toward beatification and canonization.
