This week saw the long-awaited beatification of Bl Fulton Sheen alongside developments affecting the Church in Scotland and Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment – plus, the Chicago White Sox just may have been on the receiving end of a miracle.
Bl Fulton Sheen beatified in St Louis
Archbishop Fulton Sheen has been beatified. Nearly seven years after it was originally scheduled, and 12 years after the Vatican first signalled its approval of a miracle attributed to his intercession, the beatification Mass was finally celebrated on September 24 in St Louis. An estimated 50,000 people, including 1,000 priests, 850 seminarians, 250 deacons and 89 bishops, attended the Mass.
