A seven-member team of medical experts convoked by the Vatican reported there is no natural explanation for the survival of a child delivered stillborn and whose heart did not start beating until 61 minutes after his birth.<\/p>\n

The survival of the child, James Fulton Engstrom, now three years old and developing normally, was credited by his parents to a miracle attributable to the intercession of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who gained fame for his 1950s television show Life Is Worth Living and his 16 years at the helm of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.<\/p>\n

The medical experts\u2019 report was announced in the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois, by the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation, which is led by Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a significant step in the cause for the beatification and canonisation of our beloved Fulton Sheen,\u201d Bishop Jenky said in a statement. \u201cThere are many more steps ahead and more prayers are needed. But today is a good reason to rejoice.\u201d [SOURCE<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
