Pope Leo has expressed support for Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s cause, as he praised the soon to be blessed and noted the impact Sheen had on his own life.
Hosting the Pontifical Mission Societies in audience on Monday morning, Leo XIV gave a notable hat-tip to the longtime former US national director of the PMS – Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
“Archbishop Sheen was a light of faith, hope, & love that shone through the radio and television media for decades,” said Leo.
Continuing, the American Pontiff also testified to the positive impact that Sheen had on his own life, stating: “I myself am a witness of his evangelization when I was growing up.”
Sheen served as national director of the PMS from 1950 through 1966, during which time he raised millions of dollars in support of the Church’s missionary activities throughout the world. It was during this same time that he also launched his wildly popular television series “Life is Worth Living,” and only left his role at the PMS after he was named as Bishop of Rochester.
