Msgr. Jason Gray joins Patrick to discuss Lessons from Bishop Fulton Sheen Msgr. Gray’s background (4:40) who was Bishop Fulton Sheen and what is his legacy? (9:34) Nick - Part of Militia of Immaculata. Headquarters was in Peoria until it moved. Tomb of Bp Sheen is there and adoration chapel. He had a saying...those who leave do it for what they think it is. He taught me how to love and learn the faith and serve the Lord. It's so intertwined. Stall in beatification. We know when that happens...it's good because Satan wants to mess things up. What were some challenges of the beatification of Fulton Sheen? (16:27) Ken - I was raised in a Catholic/Protestant home. Father was protestant and would listen to Bp Fulton Sheen with mom. He was impressed by Sheen and would laugh at some comments. When I started listening to RR, I can hear my father's laughter. (21:02) Break 1 How do you get canonized? (25:35) Art - When I was a boy in the 60's, my parents used to watch his program. I remember it was always brighter (we only had black and white). Always wondered why that was. I realized it was the holy spirit. Found that fascinating. Very blessed man. Regina - Received a minor miracle for surgery. Had bad cataracts. Didn't have health insurance at the time. I remember watching his program. Talked about angels. At the hospital, the surgeon was kind enough to get me an angel grant to pay for the surgery. (35:03) Break 2 (37:50) Dorothy - I missed him in the 50's. anecdote to share...his style. I worked in Catholic Charities. I didn't know the society of the propagation of the faith was a competitor of ours. Went to a performance and he was there. He had such a fun style. He asked me what I do...told him I was a secretary with CC...flung the cape over his shoulder almost in dismay. Had such a twinkle and fun personality. (40:41) Janine - My father was protestant, mom was catholic. Mom loved to watch him. Dad would watch with her. Made one wall black flocked wallpaper. We lived in uptown Chicago. To this day, I believe it had such an influence on dad because he did finally receive communion. I think it was Bp Sheen. Mary - I think Americans need to make a pilgrimage to some places. Champion to Peoria to Bp Sheen, and then to Quincy to Fr. Tolton. Resources: Fulton J.

Te propongo un ramillete de reflexiones de Fulton Sheen sobre Jesucristo
Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation on retreat to priests at the Manoir de Beaujeu, in Coteau du lac, near Montreal, Canada.At his most urgent hour, when the apostles are on retreat with their Lord in the garden, a place far away from the hubbub of the crowds, the Lord lets go a searing complaint to his priests:“What! Could none of you stay awake with me one hour?” (Matt 26, 40) We have to stay awake with him in this retreat. The word hour is present 7 times in John. Fulton Sheen refers to each hour in detail. The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. (Jn 12, 23). The hour for us has now come to respond to his demands, to examine all the layers in which we can be his priests, and truly embrace our mission.

Rob Corzine unpacks the Sunday readings and the story of John the Baptist, and Matthew Bunson has an update on Fulton Sheen.
We get real about sin, temptation, and the stuff we all wrestle with but don't always talk about. We share personal stories, practical ways to actually deal with your desires, and why God's love isn't just a nice idea—it's the key to real change. We talk about where sin really starts, why love has to be at the center of your life, and how something as simple as going to Mass more intentionally can honestly change everything. We also have some fun and play a round of “Pope or President?” and talk about the legacy of Fulton Sheen we await the official announcement of his beatification. It's an honest, encouraging conversation for anyone who wants to break free from habitual sin and grow without pretending they have it all together. Featuring: Fr.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Want the truth about where the trad world stands—without the coping or the clickbait? We follow the threads from Bishop Fulton Sheen's long-delayed beatification, through Cardinal Roche's letter on the liturgy, to the uncomfortable reality that a so-called youth movement has quietly gone gray.We get honest about what younger men are actually dealing with: a wrecked dating market, credential mills, debt-squeezed housing, and a job landscape warped by visas and offshoring. Against those pressures, endless arguments about documents and labels feel like theater. Tradition doesn't need to be softer—it needs to be lived. Less quote-mining, more discipline. Less outrage, more parish life. Teach a traditional Catholic life. Live it for a century. Then evaluate the council when the smoke clears.We dive into Roche's claim that the older books were a concession never intended to grow and hold it up to Benedict's “mutual enrichment.” On the ground, where both forms coexist, reverence improves, and people discover the old rite without fleeing their parishes. That matters more than any memo. We also sit with Fulton Sheen's “ape of the Church,” why hindsight on Vatican II is tricky, and why Sheen still draws seekers who are hungry for clarity and beauty.Finally, we talk about Scott Adams and the risk of treating salvation like a hack. Baptism, repentance, confession, and real community are not optional extras. The Sunday obligation protects the habit of belonging when screens tempt us to go it alone. If beauty saves, it does so in the flesh: Mass, meals, laughter, and the steady weight of shared prayer.Join us for a candid, hopeful reset.

1/14/26 - We'll tell the remarkable story of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, tracing his journey from a brilliant Midwestern seminarian to one of the most recognizable Catholic voices of the 20th century, and now a man on the brink of beatification. We look at Sheen's years as a professor and preacher, his groundbreaking radio work on The Catholic Hour, and his Emmy-winning television program Life Is Worth Living, which drew millions of viewers each week with nothing more than a chalkboard, sharp wit, and unapologetic Catholic truth. We'll also explore his deep interior life, including his lifelong commitment to daily Eucharistic Holy Hours, his service as a bishop and auxiliary to Cardinal Spellman, and the suffering he endured in fidelity to the Church. Finally, we'll look at the key moments in his cause for sainthood, including the recognized miracle attributed to his intercession and the recent news renewing anticipation for his long-awaited beatification, explaining why Catholics around the world continually turn to Fulton Sheen today as a model of courage, clarity, and joyful evangelization in confusing times.

Great Story Great Saints: Patrick explores the lives of saints with vivid storytelling and answers questions about Old Testament figures, canonization mysteries, and whether it’s right to seek the prayers of Blesseds, letting sharp details and unexpected dialogue spark curiosity. St. Irenaeus of Lyons (04:34) Robert - My 2 favorites are Fulton Sheen and Romano Guardini. Is there any movement for the canonization of these two individuals?
