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.

His broadcasts did a great deal of good For many of us.

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.

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.
