In the long arc of American religious life, few figures bridged the sacred and the modern quite like Bishop Fulton Sheen, who carried Catholic moral teaching into the living rooms of a nation still learning what television could do. Now, decades after his death, the Church has formally beatified him in St. Louis — a city with deep Catholic roots — placing him one verified miracle away from full sainthood. The ceremony honors not only a man of faith, but a recognition that holiness can be lived through the tools of one's own era.
