Another American Roman Catholic who has since has gone home to his eternal rest and reward and got to watch a special on EWTN back on December 11, 2011, with an intro on Father Benidict’s Grouchel’s show just before that on the life and times of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. This man and priest and then in time bishop of great faith and holiness, he wrote many books, two or three books that he wrote I have. Also Bishop Sheen was at the begining of the modern communications age, first of radio and then later with the begining of tv.

If he was alive today, Bishop Sheen would have made use of the internet to get the good news of the Gospel of Christ out. May his cause or the road to his cause of proclaiming him a saint be seen in my life time, God willing.

I remember once that he accepted a television award on the emmys. In his acceptance speech he said, "I want to thank my writers: Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
Even the pagans there laughed.

He was quite a guy. Heaven got a winner with him.
