God's will be done
The Catholic religion inducts and celebrates its saints, and I would like to know what the holdup is regarding the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979). Why is he not yet a saint?
For those who do not know, Fulton Sheen hosted an extremely popular television show in the 1950s. A number of its episodes can be watched on the internet, so those who were born long after Fulton Sheens passing can catch a glimpse of what the man was like.
I'm sorry, but as a former Roman Catholic, I'm not sure what an "alter bot" is?
Is this like a Russian bot??
I didn't leave the church. I came to Christ.
Oh, leave them alone, some are very entertaining.....ignorance is bliss!!!!!

I understand your point of view..what are your religious beliefs?
bot typo......so you left the one true Catholic and Apostolic church, which Christ founded in order to go to Christ. why does that make sense to Protestants?????

No, TC. Thats what you posted.
I came to Christ, gained salvation, and was placed into the Body of Christ - which is His actual church for all eternity.
Ok. Im not catholic but damn, do you have a script running to automatically post that?
I want to change my FR name to blogpimp.
Great thanks. Next!
Thats nice.
Oh Eagleone I havent read your anti catholic stupidity in a couple of months guess you are still at it lol
Proving yet again, it is very often the Roman Catholic who first resorts to the personal attack and/or profanity.
Just like the Left does...when you can't attack the message...attack the messenger.

To be recognized in the Catholic Church you need two miracles.These are mostly people praying to God with a reminder of the Person goodness.Bishop Sheen has one miracle.The fight over his body does not enter into this.I know first hand it takes 100,000.00 to enter a name for consideration for Sainthood.Mostly because they have to hire people to investigate.If they haven’t had many writings it makes it harder.Bishop Sheen was my Father’s cousin.My Father never went to Mass but he made us all sit down to watch him on Sunday nights.He was know as a great orator while studying in Rome but they sent him to a simply church.It wasn’t so much the man but his knowledge of scripture.Some cases take hundreds of years.It never occurred to me until years later that he prayed for me.I was just a little housewife who ended up into million of homes just being a home-maker.I have a signed picture of him.He is a nice thought for me.
To be recognized in Christianity you follow Christ. If you do you are a saint.
Oh you little wilting flower
Of course,it’s kinda like someone doing a beyond the normal.Like Fireman of the year.You look at this person and say I can try to do this too.
OMG, my mom was big on him! She bought us a DVD the other year. No, I haven’t actually watched!
My fav is when he screams like John the Baptist”Behold the Lamb of God”at the baptism in the Jordan.He also explains the killing of the lambs and the blood flow and all of that.If your into religion and history he is good.
Far from it. Just pointing out how some members of Roman Catholicism conduct themselves. Not exactly recruiting material your putting out there.
