So for us non-catholics, what is the back-story of this story?

[ConservativeMind]

A good, conservative man who had a family-oriented show in the early days of radio and television. He was from the only county in Illinois with strong ties to President Reagan (Eureka College) and President Lincoln (Practiced law and had cases in the courthouse) — Woodford County.

Woodford County always votes conservative. Bedrock, solid people, there.

For someone to be canonized, they’re remains have to be in possession of the local bishop. I know this as I have a relative who is a bishop and a Servant of God. He’s buried at Notre Dame but if they want to move towards canonization, his body would have to be exhumed and sent to Uganda where his diocese is.

It costs hundreds of thousands of $$ for the process as eerything has to be translated to English, Italian and Latin prior to being submitted for review.
