Your post needs a hearty Youtube video of Fulton J. Sheen
The ferraiolo is a type of cape traditionally worn by clergy in the Roman Catholic Church on formal, non-liturgical occasions. When Sheen went on television in February 1952, his Life Is Worth Living programs became extremely popular, competing effectively against shows starring Mr. Television, Milton Berle, and singer-actor Frank Sinatra. A television critic exclaimed, Bishop Sheen cant sing, cant dance, and cant act. All he isis sensational. In his first year on television, Sheen won the Emmy for Most Outstanding Television Personality, winning over media giants Lucille Ball, Arthur Godfrey, Edward R. Murrow, and Jimmy Durante.
The Sheen story is about a remarkable man whose spiritual intensity was the primary force that propelled him throughout his life. His life in the Church spans one of the most exciting periods in the venerable institutions history, from an era characterized by growth, discipline, evangelism, self-confidence, and exclusivity, to the post-Vatican II period known for its change, dissent, disillusionment, ecumenism, and openness to the modern world.
