As a child I use to watch Bishop Sheen on TV. I was amazed how adult Protestants I knew would tune in for what I would call today Spiritual Direction. When I was pregnant with my son his preaching/teaching on raising a child in the faith and grace by seven I will tell you the way he will go. I did and it is true. A life worth living is a life to unpack that truth. Today my son turned 48 years old and even through darkness it is true. Thank God for Budhop Sheen

Good day Our holy and awesome looking Friars The last word goes to Fulton Sheen because we are enthralled with his teachings and his very intelligent talks No one remembers Spellman except his nasty treatment of Fulton Sheen God bless all Dominican Friars they are all very good looking cheers from Australia

Today I asked regular churchgoers under 45 if they knew who Bishop Sheen is and they said "No who is he?" Your right.

Re: most people not knowing who Fulton Sheen is these days. The funny thing is that Sheen was the first Catholic preacher that I ever watched all the way back in 2018. Right here on youtube in black and white. God is God of the Algorithm too, I suppose. Sheen's arguments for the Catholic position were very convincing as far as I was concerned. He played a huge part in my conversion so I really do hope he gets beatified then canonized soon.

Great show, gentlemen. It's amazing how well Sheen's TV shows hold up to this day (though it probably helps that the faith he's propagating is timeless).

[@jessr1698]

I got more into my faith due to finding Bishop Sheen's show on KZbin

[@vroscarrod]

Sheen's book, Treasury in Clay, is beautiful and inspired me to go to Adoration.

[@dehydratedrhombus2473]

I would most like to meet him in Heaven, after our Lord.

Such an engaging conversation on Archbishop Sheen! Please consider some follow-up episodes on his writings.

Late to the party, however thank you for this episode. Ive been very curious to know more about the late Bishop Fulton Sheen. Also you kill a whole full sized pringle can??👁👄👁. I usually get an energy drink on a road trip that is all.

Here in Germany, Nerd ropes are more or less not available. But the week this video aired, I found in the “1€ shop.” Perhaps American Dominicans stranded in Germany are praying for nerd ropes in every shop?

My Mother always watched him. As a child I found him intimidating.

[@lbi216]

I still do, LOL

Watched Bishop Sheen as a child with my parents.. I wonder if opposition to the war created a major problem for Bishop Sheen yet I don't think his opposition was well known at the time... Most adult citizens supported the war. There were televised college protests. It was the high school graduate who went to Vietnam. The War is shown every night for years on Walter Cronkite news and the advent of the" talk" show with Catholic Phil Donahue. were a factor in the change in society..

I always forget to get a free slurpee on 7-11. Too bad they were all out when I went to get one after listening to this.

[@richwall1]

Bishop sheen eventually resigned as Bishop of Rochester and moved back to New York City. He was then named a titular Archbishop.

Oh BOY, for many reasons today, This Was a Gift 🎁💖 Thank you 🙏💙❣️ ☺️🥳 Gonna see if the S'lev's Free Slurpee legend on today is true or not 🥤 God Bless!! (Edit: it is, a free small one 🥳)

Interview Months Before Bishop Sheen's Death - The Joy Of The Faith

[@MartinaStC]

Not relevant to the content of the podcast but the 2 pink lights above the shelves don't look as good as the older/no lights. In my opinion, eerie looking...

[@gerardmcgorian7070]

"The champagne never tasted so good." Yeah, that just about summed Sheen up, showboat that he was. Maybe a cast on real shepherds of the People of God? Helder Camara of Brazil, Óscar Romero of El Salvador, ...? Or is today's New York Times' article on your generation of priests just about spot on? I mean, that would be all a bit too much liberation theology for you?
