He had a TV show in the 1950’s. Pretty remarkable…

I vaguely recall watching Fulton Sheen’s TV show. I guess I was too young to appreciate his sermons. I think he will be canonized some time. That would be truly historical.
Fred, I recalled having seen this week that he is going to be “beatified” later this year. That is apparently a step on the way to canonization in the Catholic Church. He is being credited with a miracle in Illinois apparently during his early priesthood. As you probably know, you have to be recognized by the Catholic Church as having performed a miracle in order to be declared a saint. While some of us might regard these processes as extra-biblical, these are nonetheless their processes.
