They just don’t build ‘em like Bishop Sheen any more. That man is still more impressive than any of our congresscritters on either side of the aisle.

A great dream would be see a debate (a real one, not one with bimboy questions) between Bishop Sheen and the Cretin-in-Chief.

“A great dream would be see a debate (a real one, not one with bimboy questions) between Bishop Sheen and the Cretin-in-Chief.”

I agree, but Sheen would never refer to Obama in that way. And Obama would stay a million miles away from a godly man like Sheen who was also several planes of intelligence higher.

Yes.....his speech was very appropriate for what is going on this very minute. Great man....great mind. He has such logic that seems nonexistent in most people in today’s world. Have enjoyed watching all his youtube videos in the past.

My parents use to watch him, I think every Sunday, when I was a kid. He could scare a kid, that’s for sure. Old school.

Sadly, Fulton Sheen joined the anti-Vietnam War crowd in 1967.

He new that it was a political war that American politicians had no intentions of stopping communism. He knew the weakness of American politicians and the strength that the liberalism had made america weak

One of his best-remembered presentations came in February 1953, when he forcefully denounced the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin. Sheen gave a dramatic reading of the burial scene from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, substituting the names of Caesar, Cassius, Mark Antony, and Brutus with those of prominent Soviet leaders Stalin, Lavrenty Beria, Georgy Malenkov, and Andrey Vyshinsky. He concluded by saying, “Stalin must one day meet his judgment.” The dictator suffered a stroke a few days later and died within a week

Supposedly Martin Sheen took his name from Bishop Sheen, he should have listened more to his sermons.
