I have many of his videos, which I watch and rewatch constantly. I think if he were alive today he would be appalled at the erosion of faith and morals. There has been an ongoing effort to canonize Sheen, and I am wondering why it is taking the Vatican so long to act. If ever a candidate for sainthood was deserving, it was Sheen, Thank you, George, for remembering. - Joseph Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:17:59 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/remembering-fulton-sheen.html#comment-3633 I truly appreciated your comments from the Saintly Bishop Sheen on religious indifference from 1944, including : "Very simply, this means it has no great loves and no great hates; no causes worth living for and no causes worth dying for." This is also the modern world as described by the Great American Catholic Historian, Warren Carroll. We do indeed need zeal for the honour of God's name. I feel blessed on reading about his life.

Mister, we could use a man like Bishop Sheen again! America and the Catholic Chruch were better off when, although a Cathoic could not be elected Presdient, Abp Sheen ruled Sunday night. When citing Abp Sheen's convert, Mr. Marlin overlooked perhaps the most important one--Bella Dodd, who told him that as a Communists she had recruited over 1,000 men to enter Catholic seminaries to undermine the Church and predicted the current state of affairs. - Thomas C.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. Amen. - Ars Artium Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:52:03 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/remembering-fulton-sheen.html#comment-3630 This is ONE TIME i can say with a clear conscience: Thank God for TV!! We have some of this beloved Father of Souls on video and DVD. Our 10 yr old boy loves his sermon "The True Meaning of Christmas" (St. Josephs Communications) & listens every night before bed during Advent & Christmas. Last year he told his home-from-Ave Maria U sister, "play that CD. i'm learning about the hyper-active union! you know, when God became all man & stayed all God!" Thank you, GOD for such a Priest & archives! - debby Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:51:40 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/remembering-fulton-sheen.html#comment-3629 A Baptist minister friend of mine recenlty confided that he used to watch Sheen's program every week in order to steal Sheen's stuff for his own homilies. - Dennis Bartlett Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:50:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/remembering-fulton-sheen.html#comment-3628 "Bye now, God love you." Such was a familiar valediction of this servant of God. We don't hear such things uttered much anymore is just sounds too religious and not politically correct. Fulton Sheen is a true example of what a bishop should be. He taught, ruled and sanctified with excellence. I believe he is a fitting example for some of today's bishops to emulate. Here is a man who belongs in the litany of great saints and scholars. What an intellect and what a priest!. God love you too! - Willie Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:53:53 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/remembering-fulton-sheen.html#comment-3627 Thank you, Mr. Marlin, for allowing your readers a glimpse at the pre Vatican II Church. I grew up in that era (Frank Sheed was a friend of my parents)and that was the apogee of American Catholicism. For forty years we have lived through its nadir. I am sad that my children and grandchildren never lived through that time. Abp. Sheen and the awe and respect he commanded in the public forum made one proud (perhaps too much!) to be a Catholic. - William H.
