A prophetic statement, for sure.

In 1967, he fell under attack from the right by opposing the Vietnam War. He was the first American bishop to attempt to implement in a diocese the full teachings of the Second Vatican Council, producing severe criticism from conservatives. Seems like he moved left as he got older.

I remember as a child watching Archbishop Sheen every week with my mother and brother. A show like his wouldn't be done on mainstream tv today, thanks to the godless people who control Hollywood and the media.

Many of us here grew up watching Bishop Sheen on television. EWTN still airs re-runs of his program
Life is Worth Living. You can also listen to many of those programs at this link:

People today have no idea how popular Bishop Sheen’s TV program was. He was watched by both Catholics and protestants. My fundamentalist protestant parents and grandparents wouldn’t miss a show. I recall that my Grandmother in particular was a big fan.

Few Americans hate the Catholic Church, but millions hate what they think is the Catholic Church. Bishop Fulton Sheen

Thank you. I have watched some of the shows on EWTN. They are timeless.

He was brilliant. As a college student, I happened to work in the (now long defunct) Schraffts across the street from the old pre-fire St Agnes Church, where he used to preach. They had loudspeakers set up in the street so people who couldn’t get into the church could hear him.

Me and my family were Protestant, but we always enjoyed Archbishop Sheen's programs.

I loved to watch Bishop Fulton J. Sheen and his “Life is Worth Living” TV program. I learned a lot from this great teacher . . . and I’m not a Catholic. I have never found another that could teach morality and faith like he could.
To: NYer
I think the last Bishop Sheen thread on here had the “What’s My Line?” episode he was on... and there was a Freeper that stated he was confirmed by him...
I was raised Protestant, but have always enjoyed watching reruns of his “Life is Worth Living” series.

One of his masterpieces! I have quoted from it on different threads.
