This isn’t the first time a prominent Catholic had good words for a Protestant counterpart. Half a century ago, Bishop Fulton Sheen said that when Billy Graham died, the Catholic Church should declare him a saint. This was praise from one great evangelist to another.

I can think of a number of Catholics who would disagree with Sheen about Graham's character.

“Bishop Fulton Sheen said that when Billy Graham died, the Catholic Church should declare him a saint. This was praise from one great evangelist to another”

Billy Graham had great things to say about Fulton Sheen and many of the Popes. He was especially fond of JP2, calling him the greatest moral voice of the 20th Century.

I am not familiar with the quote you cited where Sheen said the Catholic Church should canonize Billy Graham. You have a source?
