Boy, the Cardinal Dolan hits just keep on coming.
From the Cause of Archbishop Sheen
It is with immense sadness that the Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, Bishop of Peoria and President of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, announced today that the Cause for Sheen’s beatification and canonization has for the foreseeable future been suspended. The process to verify a possible miracle attributed to Sheen had been going extremely well, and only awaited a vote of the Cardinals and the approval of the Holy Father. There was every indication that a possible date for beatification in Peoria would have been scheduled for as early as the coming year. The Holy See expected that the remains of Venerable Sheen would be moved to Peoria where official inspection would be made and first class relics be taken. Subsequently, the Archdiocese of New York denied Bishop Jenky’s request to move the body to Peoria. After further discussion with Rome, it was decided that the Sheen Cause would now have to be relegated to the Congregation’s historic archive.This release is shocking in its directness that Archdiocese of New York (Read Cardinal Dolan) repeatedly promised to transfer the remains of Archbishop Sheen and has now reneged, causing a fatal blow to the cause.
Countless supporters especially from the local church in Central Illinois have given their time, treasure and talent for this good work with the clear understanding that the body of Venerable Sheen would return to the Diocese. Bishop Jenky was personally assured on several occasions by the Archdiocese of New York that the transfer of the body would take place at the appropriate time. New York’s change of mind took place as the work on behalf of the Cause had reached a significant stage.
Bishop Jenky is what is technically called the “actor” of the Sheen Cause. The Diocese of Peoria and the Sheen Foundation have prayed and labored for this good work for the last twelve years. The Bishop is heartbroken not only for his flock in Peoria but also for the many supporters of the Sheen Cause from throughout the world who have so generously supported Peoria’s efforts. It should be noted, however, that saints are always made by God not by man. Efforts for many causes have sometimes taken decades or even centuries. Bishop Jenky urges that those who support the Sheen Cause continue their prayers that God’s will be made manifest.
The “Ancient Order of Hibernians” are nothing but a front group for the Democrats and the Communist Irish Republican terrorists. They pay lip service to “pro-life” and such but they’re just leftist ethnic politicians stuck in the era of Boss Tweed . . . except Boss Tweed was far superior to the Democrat party of today.
The HATERS will NEVER look it up....they are FARAID to face the TRUTH!!!
WHO named him a Cardinal???
The Hibernians have been pro life. And they are the Only ones who have held off the gay militants to this point and it has not been easy
So ease up
Oh, have they now?
Then why do they support pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-religion Sinn Fein? They spend most of their time promoting Irish nationalism than they do anything else. As "gay" friendly as Irish nationalism is, I'm sure they'll be happy to step aside for the allies of their allies.
So ease up
I'm an old Southern Civil War Republican and genetic, multi-generational ethnic Democrats are my natural enemy. I will not "ease up."

Care to provide some back up for your claims against this group ?
Or just leave the slander aloft?
Such a shame. I live in the Diocese of Peoria and had the opportunity to see Bishop Jenky during the display of St. John Paul the Great’s relic when it toured here in Central Illinois last fall. One could truly sense what a holy and wonderful man he is.
For all he did for the Faith in this country, Abp. Sheen is a worthy candidate for such honor - here’s praying that this matter is rectified quickly.
Have you ever been to their web site? Whenever I've gone I've seen them pushing the Sinn Fein line over and above everything else. They're nothing but left wing ethnic activists.
Or just leave the slander aloft?
Slander??? Considering I've seen their pro-Sinn Fein articles many times that's really stretching it. Perhaps you don't know what Sinn Fein is? It wouldn't surprise me with all these ignorant FReepers cheering for the Scottish National Party. And I understand there are some IRA apologists on FR as well.
So, no link?
Just as I thought
Just a link. Or one cut and paste, cited?
No?
Nothing?

No?
Nothing?
So let me get this straight . . . you're in love with the Hibernians and can't even find their web site unless I provide a link? That's amazing! I've never encountered someone who couldn't even do a simple web search before (that's how I found the site!).
It seems at the moment there are no pro-Sinn Fein articles near the top of the list (I'm sure that means I've never actually seen them!), but they do have a couple of pro-"immigration reform" articles, typical of nineteenth century urban Democrat union goons.
But all the same thanks for calling me a liar. I really appreciate that. What fine, upstanding conservative behavior! I suppose you'll also claim that it's a "lie" that Catholics don't believe in evolution--after which you'll probably defend evolution!
The late great Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once said:
“WHO IS GOING TO SAVE OUR CHURCH? NOT OUR BISHOPS, NOT OUR PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE. YOU HAVE THE MINDS, THE EYES, THE EARS TO SAVE THE CHURCH. YOUR MISSION IS TO SEE THAT YOUR PRIESTS ACT LIKE PRIESTS, YOUR BISHOPS, LIKE BISHOPS, AND YOUR RELIGIOUS ACT LIKE RELIGIOUS.”
Of course Sheen was well aware that his popularity both within and outside the Archdiocese of New York made him the target of the late Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York at the time. Spellman could not accept the fact that Sheen was far more popular than Spellman. It eventually led to Sheen’s forced exile in Rochester, NY.
Now, many years after Spellman’s death, we have an Archbishop of New York who would make Spellman proud. Thanks to Dolan and his so called, Making All Things New program, my former high school was closed when it wasn’t even on the official chopping block, and my former grammar school will likely be set for closing with Dolan’s next set of announcements.
Of course, then we have Dolan’s invitation of Obama to the Al Smith dinner. The list of Dolan’s destructive campaign goes on and on. Oh well, I still have my Faith, and in the end, that is all that counts.
Oh just provide a citation. It’s no more than a ninth grader in a decent school has to do on a weekly basis
Drama
Were all who weren't there no longer recognized as Apostles by Christ?
human beings deciding if others were “saints” is not Christian
