‘What bishop has ever won an Emmy?’ – The remarkable rise of Fulton Sheen
Former Bishop Fulton Sheen, a pioneering television preacher, is moving toward beatification, the penultimate stage before sainthood in the Catholic Church. The Vatican’s decree recognizes his widespread influence and moral teachings. His 1950s program, 'Life Is Worth Living,' reached millions and shaped public perception of faith. If approved, Sheen would become the first U.S.-born bishop to be canonized, marking a historic milestone for American Catholicism.
