Fulton John Sheen, was born May 8, 1895 in Illinois and was ordained a priest of the diocese of Peoria in Peoria, IL on September 20, 1919. In 1930, after just eleven years of priesthood, Sheen began hosting a weekly Sunday night radio broadcast called The Catholic Hour. This broadcast captured many devoted listeners, reportedly drawing an audience of four million people every week for two decades. In 1951, Sheen was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdioceses of New York, the same year he started Life is Worth Living. Life is Worth Living ran until 1957. Bishop Sheen hosted another television series, The Fulton Sheen Program, running from 1961 to 1968 that closely modeled the Life is Worth Living series.
In 1979 Fulton J. Sheen received his greatest accolade when Pope John Paul II embraced him and said, "You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus. You are a loyal son of the Church." With that last acknowledgement, Fulton Sheen passed into eternal life just two months later on December 9, 1979.
Bishop Fulton Sheen was scheduled for beatification (the process of becoming a saint in the Catholic Church) on December 21, 2019, at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Peoria. On December 3, 2019, the Diocese of Peoria announced that the beatification of Sheen would be delayed.

This way really lovely. I’ve been enjoying a lot of his content over the past couple of days, and I’m glad to have discovered him. ❤ I’m a Lutheran. The way he spoke so kindly of ALL Christians- how he got right to the heart of the Gospels- really warms my heart. I’m reminded of C.S. Lewis and how he spoke so highly of ALL Christians, as well. In today’s world, I see too much division. These men, from not that long ago, set such an amazing example that I hope we can all follow. May Our Lord bless all who read this. ✝️

Respectfully, I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here about what Roman Catholicism actually teaches. However, I want to comment on something you said about people not exegeting the Bible correctly. My question is how do you know that they are in correct? By what standard are you determining it’s not correct? I think the far more honest and transparent way of saying what you said is “they are not exegeting the passages the way I would.” This is the problem. Who is correct? This very issue screams for the necessity of an infallible interpreter. Christ said that, “The gates of hell will not prevail…” when talking about His Church. This is why we can trust that God will prevent the magisterium from leading in error. Also, when you talk about Catholic dogmas not being explicit in Scripture, I will agree that not everything is explicitly in Scripture. This also includes sola scriptura. There is no passage that says that the Bible is our only infallible authority. In fact, you see people bringing others before the Church. A couple examples: Christ told us to do this for church discipline (Matt. 18:15-20), Paul went to the apostles to talk about correct doctrine (Gal 2:2), and you have the congregation of apostles and religious at the council of Jerusalem (Acts 15). My point is sola scriptura is not explicit and not really biblical itself.
