Pope Leo XIV praised Venerable Fulton J. Sheen today as “a light of faith, hope, and love” whose radio and television broadcasts brought the Gospel to millions of Americans, including the pope himself as a child.

“Archbishop Sheen was a light of faith, hope, and love that shone through the radio and television media for decades,” Pope Leo said.

“I myself am a witness of his evangelization when I was growing up,” the pope added.

“His broadcasts touched millions with the hope of the Gospel and his initiatives and efforts resulted in enormous spiritual and material aid to the Churches in areas of first evangelization.”

Pope Leo XIV praised Venerable Fulton J. Sheen on June 1 as “a light of faith, hope, and love” whose radio and television broadcasts brought the Gospel to millions of Americans — including the pope himself as a child.

Speaking at a Vatican audience with members of the Pontifical Mission Societies, the pope called it providential that the beloved archbishop will be beatified during the centennial year of the Pontifical Mission Societies he once led as the national director of the U.S. Society for the Propagation of the Faith, @TPMS_USA.

Pope Leo XIV on Monday praised the missionary legacy of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the famed American evangelist who will be beatified Sept. 24 in St. Louis, calling him “a light of faith, hope, and love.”

The pope made his remarks June 1 during an audience with participants in the general assembly of the Pontifical Mission Societies, recalling Sheen’s long service as national director of the societies in the United States.

The pope noted that this year marks the 100th anniversary of Pope Pius XI’s establishment of the penultimate Sunday of October as World Mission Sunday, a day devoted to “prayer, reflection, and contributing to the Church’s mission of evangelization.”

Leo expressed his gratitude to those who promote the annual observance, which supports the Church’s missionary work throughout the world.

Friends, upon hearing the message of Gabriel concerning her own pregnancy and that of her cousin, Mary “proceeded in haste into the hill country of Judah” to see Elizabeth. Why did she go with such speed and purpose? Because she had found her mission, her role in the theo-drama. 

I invite you to contemplate what God reveals to us in the visitation. Have you searched for your place in God’s story, abandoning the ego-drama for the theo-drama with a response as bold and simple as Mary’s?

Friends, I’m delighted to share that Word on Fire is publishing “Magnifica Humanitas,” the historic first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV’s papacy. 

While many are quick to call it the ‘AI Encyclical,’ Pope Leo’s focus is much broader, highlighting how truth, knowledge, and work are deeply connected to human dignity. It is a timely reminder, especially as social media, AI, and constant screen time begin to alter these core aspects of our lives.

Pope Leo XIV is not a liberal.

A thread 🧵👇

[Fox News @FoxNews]

NEW: Pope Leo downplays tensions with President Trump, addressing a "narrative that has not been accurate in all of its aspects."

He says it is “not in my interest at all” to debate the president and will keep preaching a message of peace.
