The Blessed ‘Illinoisan’: Living a worthy life

Cardinal Luis Antonio G. Tagle shared sentiments from Pope Leo XIV regarding the elevation of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen to the honors of the Blessed. During the discussion of Sheen's legacy, Tagle referred to the Archbishop as a fellow Illinoisan, noting the Holy Father's own connection to the state.

Sheen was known for using modern media to build bridges between common knowledge and the Gospel. In the 1950s, he used network television to reach audiences alongside popular entertainers like Frank Sinatra and Milton Berle, eventually winning an Emmy for his work.
