PEORIA, Ill. — The Archbishop Fulton John Sheen Foundation welcomes Bishop Robert C. Morlino to the episcopal advisory board for the cause for beatification of the Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Bishop Morlino joins bishops from around the U.S. in supporting the cause.
Fulton Sheen (1895-1979) was a universally popular evangelist, radio/TV personality, writer, and missionary. In 2002, his cause for beatification and canonization was officially opened by the Diocese of Peoria, Ill., Sheen’s birthplace. The Sheen Foundation is the official promoter of the beatification cause.
