“Sheen is clean.”

That’s the message from Monsignor Jason Gray, executive director of the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation, regarding the status of the cause for beatification of “America’s bishop,” the late televangelist Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.

“I think it’s safe to say that I don’t think any cause for beatification has been subjected to more scrutiny than Archbishop Sheen, both ecclesiastically and civilly,” Gray said in an Aug. 24 interview on “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo.”

“In all of this not only has nothing been found to impugn Sheen,” he continued, “but I think his heroic virtues have been confirmed — as I would like to say, Sheen is clean — and we can prove that.”

Not only was Fulton Sheen American,
but also, he was very traditional in his Catholic beliefs.
Unfortunately, I think those two things hurt his beatification greatly at this time ...
It was definitely a very strange situation. It brings me a lot of questions.
