Скачать или смотреть Fulton Sheen: TV Star

In this brief biography, we spotlight Venerable Fulton J. Sheen — the charismatic American archbishop who became one of the 20th century's most influential Catholic media figures and a pioneer of evangelization through television.
Born in 1895 in Illinois, Sheen rose from a Peoria priest to a radio star on The Catholic Hour (1930s), then revolutionized Catholic broadcasting with his Emmy-winning TV show Life Is Worth Living (1951–1957). Airing opposite big-name entertainers like Milton Berle, it drew up to 30 million viewers weekly — unmatched for religious programming — as Sheen delivered compelling talks on faith, philosophy, morality, and current events with chalkboard illustrations, wit, and depth. Praised by Billy Graham as "the great communicator," he influenced countless conversions and brought Catholic perspectives into mainstream American homes.
Despite controversies (rivalries with Cardinal Spellman, evolving views on issues like Vietnam and psychology), Sheen authored over 70 books, served as Bishop of Rochester, and embodied bold, joyful orthodoxy. Declared Venerable in 2012 for heroic virtue, his beatification is anticipated soon — a testament to his enduring witness.
Sheen's story inspires us: media can be a powerful tool for the Gospel when rooted in truth and charity.
