CASES OF SUSPENDED BEATIFICATIONS
---
There had been very recent cases when dates for beatifications were scheduled, but were suspended indefinitely. The Venerable Leon Dehon was supposed to be beatified on 24 April 2005 but the Holy See suspended his beatification. The Venerable Fulton Sheen was supposed to be beatified on 21 December 2019 but it was also suspended. Thorough investigations are still taking place. They can still be beatified. However, we now rely on God’s grace with regards to their causes.
