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.
Ping!
the body?
they don;t think the body is holy do they?
Dolan is having a bad week. Very disappointing.
habeas corpus ad subjiciendum?
Dolan is very disappointing.
I sure miss Cardinal O’Connor.
“Dolan is very disappointing. “
Go to barnhardt.biz aqnd read what ann has to say about Dolan, it will open your eyes...
In a time when the church is liberalizing daily, the absolute last thing the powers running it want is a traditional cause/symbol to remind the faithful how far from God they (those in charge)really are. So they deny, as any other liberal, the peoples will.
Makes ramrodding Gay acceptance into the flock much easier.
I’m not a Catholic so I’m confused about the body thing. Why do they need to inspect it? The body has decayed, right? He’s still dead even if he gets a new status.
C’mon, Pope Francis. Put Dolan in his place.
Aghh!
No. The Catholic Church is not the satanic worshipping entity people hope it turns out to be, proving they are correct
If you don’t care for the cause of sainthood then why don’t you simply stay out of it?
The fact is that they examine the body in the cause. If it is intact it furthers the cause. In many cases, God has chosen to leave the body incorrupt
Go ahead and make fun. Catholics can take it. But if you care to sound intelligent on the subject you could just look it up instead of spewing anti catholic venom on this forum, where you are sure to locate cohorts
But don’t pretend you want to know
Cardinal O’Connor was a friend of our family And he was a great man. And he protested the parade once at least when it turned political
I wrote to the Ancient Order of Hibernians on this. I am hoping to learn that they have backed out of sponsorship
Kids should not be exposed to Church hierarchy condoning homosexual behavior.
There will probably be he’ll to pay
And a millstone
Now there’s an inquisitive question
Actually, in many such cases, the body does not decay
If Dolan was ever Catholic he isn't now. He doesn't even play one on TV.
I have the feeling that if someone with friends in low places did a little digging they could find out who bought and paid for Dolan even before he was first ordained and has bought and paid to have him moved up over the years.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him nailing his own ninety-five statements of BS to a door somewhere before long and leading the resurrection of "Positive Christianity" sans the racial purity element (for now).
Then again, he can do more damage where he is so he'll probably stay jput.
JMHO
OMG.... I have seen SEVERAL SAINTS with their bodies TOTALLY INTACT......where have you been???
NOOOOOOOO....sometimes the body is TOTALLY INTACT!!!! UNCORRUPTED, as we would say. You need to see some of the Saints.
