________________________________
Fulton Sheen was a priest, bishop, and then archbishop who was very famous in the second half of the twentieth century. He was born in Illinois where he was an altar boy who dreamed of becoming a priest. He studied and then taught at several colleges, showing himself to be an extremely intelligent man. Though he was very smart, he had another gift as well. His unsurpassed charm and personality along with his golden voice led him to begin a radio broadcast called “The Catholic Hour.” It ran for twenty years and by the time it ended, an audience of four million tuned in each week. In 1951, television was just becoming popular and Bishop Sheen starred in his own show called “Life is Worth Living.” It was wildly successful and he was launched to stardom by preaching the Catholic faith. He used the money he made to help the poor and unfortunate. Today, the cause to name him a saint is underway. He has been named venerable, which is the second step of four to becoming a saint.
