Earlier in his book, Sheen affirms that “most people basically do not have trouble with the Creed, but with the Commandments; not so much with what the Church teaches, as with how the Church asks us to behave.”<br /><br />Good to remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-15322123047080554162019-11-20T10:19:04.601-05:002019-11-20T10:19:04.601-05:00Archbishop Sheen was highly effective on TV.

My husband believes it was all in reaction to his mother forcing pulpit-pounding southern baptist preaching down his throat as a youngster. Isaac started watching Fulton Sheen when television finally made it to west Texas in late 50s and never missed a show. My husband converted to Catholicism in college. Isaac developed early-onset Alzheimer’s in the early 70s before that diagnosis was even an entity, never having progressed beyond his TV exposure to Catholic Faith. He became aggressive toward his wife, no longer recognizing her identity. He died in an “mental” institution because at the time there was no other facility that would accept his care. <br />Our hope and constant prayer for over 40 years has been that Isaac knew and believed the Truth of our Lord through the intercession of soon-sainted Fulton Sheen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-6547388338554590972019-11-19T09:34:35.727-05:002019-11-19T09:34:35.727-05:00Milton Berle.Milton Berle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
