We can ALL “glean from Sheen”!!
Notice how good everyone sounds? That’s because they are using real microphones rather than those damnable lapel things.
I am sure Kilgallen was the only Catholic on the panel.
And I'll bet each one of them knew that the earth revolved around the sun once each year ; - )
Those individuals were educated by non-unionized teachers who approached their profession as a vocation. I attended catholic schools in densely populated areas. We were crammed 55 to a classroom with one nun. Our education was focused on the basics with limited extra curricula sports programs. Without electronic tools, we had to be self-reliant, memorizing multiplication tables, algebraic formulas, spelling, punctuation, historical & scientific facts, etc. Our brains were our spell checkers. We were challenged to be self-disciplined and strive for excellence.
Today, despite massive funding from taxes and other resources, the american education system cannot compete with the past. The quality has indeed degenerated.
Your #24 posting is very correct. I attended public schools in the 1940-50s, not private schools, and the results of the learning experience was superior to what kids today are subjected to through teachers’ unions and government overreach to brainwash kids.
Wonderful, a true man of God
Saw a rerun of him on EWTN, I think.
He was warning about the dangers of atheistic communism back in the 60’s, and his illuminating, and funny, commentary was just as relevant then as now.
A classy, literate game show. It would be so out of place on TV today.
Pic is non functional but I’m totally impressed.
Fulton? not his real first name, that was his mothers maiden name, her surname.

Here is another one with Ronald Reagan back in 1953 as a mystery guest.
Awesome! Thanks for posting the link.
I was amused with the way that John Daly doesn’t converse with the guest, and as soon as the panel guesses who it is, they leave.
After watching Bp. Sheen write his name on the blackboard, it reminded me of one of his books that I have: “From the Angel’s Blackboard, the best of Fulton J. Sheen”.
Amen.
