    I'm seeing lots of (justifiable!) upset on social media.

    Could it (partially) be due to this book?

    Communism and the Conscience of the West (1948)

    Indeed, who are these bishops? What is up with this statement... "It is important for the faithful to know, there has never been, not is there now, any allegation against Sheen involving the abuse of a minor." Are they saying there has been speculation about this? Could someone possibly be trying to taint Sheen's character to prevent the beatification? Weird.

    I am praying for Bishop Sheen. There is something very wrong with this postponement. I was so shocked to hear this news, I have been praying to him. :(

    Prayer for Spiritual Favour

    PRAYER TO OBTAIN A FAVOR THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF THE SERVANT OF GOD ARCHBISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN

    Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, ARCHBISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN, by granting the favor I now request through his prayerful intercession (mention your request). I make this prayer confidently through Jesus Christ,our Lord. Amen.

    It's all very,very odd indeed. I wonder if the entire history of the Church there was been a turnaround like this. Sheen would be considered no friend of the current clique at the helm. No friend of the devil either.

    Sometimes though I do wonder if I were a Bishop and encountered a bad case and their were pressure from the Vatican and other places to do a cover up for, 'The sake of the good of the Church' and I knew every other Bishop. and the Vatican were at it as a matter of course would I have had the moral courage and stamina to hold out for what was right?

    There is a kind of moral herd instinct. If every one else thinks somethings fine, well then it must be fine.

    I hope I would have, but I just don't know. I wasn't there back then

    It reminds me of those wonderful Catholics who helped saved the poor Jews when they knew they would have been murdered if discovered giving aid.

    I hope I would have helped but I don't know, I wasn't there back then.

    Who knows what is going on; but it's very , very suspicious . A rerun of the Diocese of New York not releasing his body.

    But I guess its a huge compliment to Sheen himself that this funny buisness is going down. The devil and his friends must hate him loads and loads.

    I hope Michael Voris does an investigation who knows what worms he will dig up crawling about?

    They don't start to mention the Arch Bishop Sheen cause till the end. She says she does have information, but cannot name names, but it is the usual suspects. Marshall says something to the effect of let me guess it involves red hats, let's say in the midwest, say Chicago. She says she will not confirm or deny.

    Well that's kind of what I thought. A. Sheen was a fierce opponent of communism/socialism and saw the immense threat of it on the US and the world.

    Here's part of a quote which I didn't include from the description of "Communism and the Conscience of the West":

    Cupich is just doing his job as metropolitan and is probably investigating the probable allegation.

    The difficulty with all this is that we cannot know for sure the real reasons why these things happen. We can guess, we can suspect but we cannot know. It leaves us at a huge disadvantage. IF we are being fed lies we cannot prove it.

    The devil wishes to offer more chaos and confusion, his normal fare, to the faithful. He wants to beat us down and make us question and change our minds on Orthodoxy and Tradition. Fooey!!!

    What the usual minions must realize is that favors and miracles are occurring . So if that is so, he MUST be in Heaven. Yes? Someone in hell could not respond to prayers and pleas of the faithful asking Abp Sheen for intercessions. I was reading some comments on a secular forum I read and this story was being talked about. Some of the comments were from people who have asked for intercessions and received them so........ can't discount the supernatural as much as these minions want to do that.

    We must pray even harder for these prelates (and maybe lay people) who are causing this delay. It must be awful to be so divested of the preternatural that you can't even think straight. Shame on the lot of them!

    I believe this is true. We are witnessing it right now. The West is falling.
