Many people. He was even popular among nonCatholics. Recently, I saw his show playing on a protestant channel.
To: Coleus
In these days when many modernist priests, bishops and cardinals are promoting the idea of "universal salvation", the concept of sainthood doesn't seem to mean very much.

Beloved to who? >>
to anyone who watched him on TV. He reached out to millions of all faiths.

Absolutely! I first watched Bishop Sheen with my Grandmother. She was a devout Lutheran, but loved the good Bishop. I would love to see him honored this way.

As it does to many who are admirers of Bishop Sheen. At least you would acknowledge that this is a worthy cause for canonization?

Sheen had higher ratings than Milton Berle, boneheadman.

I wish I could find my copy of Bishop Sheen's "Piece of Soul". What a marvelous book, by an excellent teacher and man.

You can always get another one:

Beyond his popularity, which in itself is not at all a reason for canonization, Sheen had an intense personal prayer life and inspired (and even still inspires) a great many to strive for a deep prayer life. As many have mentioned already, he did not only speak to those who believed, but also to those who did not believe, encouraging many of those to either return to the faith they had long abandoned, or to take up the faith that the had never known. Archbishop Sheen was not only an amazingly popular TV personality, a sincere patriot and anti-Communist, and so on, he was one of the greatest apologists of our day.

"I wish I could find my copy of Bishop Sheen's "Piece of Soul"."
Our family are currently reading excerpts from "Peace of Soul" after our evening rosary.
We also found "Three to Get Married" helpful.

I think I will get another copy, or at least check it out from the library. He was indeed an excellent wordsmith and communicator.
