Episode 5674: President Trump Threatens To Ban CNN, MSNOW, And Politico From The White House; The Beatification Of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Questions Covered: 03:40 – Archbishop Fulton Sheen is remembered so fondly by so many people, but what might be forgotten is that he took the demonic very seriously. What, in general, was his view of the demonic and of our struggle against demons? 06:30 – His teaching on demons is closely connected to his teaching on the cross. What did he mean  when he described the devil's temptations of Christ in the desert as “shortcuts from the Cross.”, and where do we see those same shortcuts being offered today? 15:25 – Why does the modern world find belief in the devil embarrassing or primitive, and what do Catholics risk losing when they reduce evil to psychology, politics, or social conditions? 20:58 – Sheen believed that the Mass and Eucharistic adoration are powerful weapons in spiritual warfare. What is happening spiritually at the Mass, and why does the Eucharist provoke such particular hatred from the demonic? 24:11 – Sheen called the Cross “the greatest basis of unity in the world.” In an increasingly fractured society, how can the Cross unite people when it is also such a demanding and controversial sign? 32:45 – Sheen warned that souls may be lost not only through deliberate evil but through simple neglect. How does spiritual complacency—neglecting confession, Mass, prayer, or the fight against sin—give the devil room to operate? 36:20 – What is a Holy Hour? 43:35 – How did Sheen seen the cultural crisis of the sexual revolution? 50:12 – How did Sheen connect faith and reason?

Questions Covered: 02:25 – Who was Fulton Sheen? 04:15 – How did Sheen become a radio and tv star? 09:30 – How did Sheen's protestant audience view and think of him? 13:20 – The beautification process for Sheen 15:27 – Sheen and the Missions 17:25 – Sheen's view of politics 21:50 – What would Sheen think of Catholic media today? 24:58 – How did Sheen get into media? 31:57 – What was Sheen's process of creating episodes of “Life is Worth Living.” 33:49 – How does the Pope figure out who can be beautified? 36:50 – What is the difference between Servant of God, venerable, and Blessed 37:50 – How decide if something is a miracle or not? 43:40 – What was the particular miracle performed by Sheen and what is the evidence for it? 49:50 – What does Sheen's beautification mean to the United States and the world? 52:25 – Where can I go to know more about Fulton Sheen?

In 1949, Fulton Sheen foresaw that men were starting to live lives of indifference. He was right. Today we discuss the choice of indifference, how it will ultimately lead you into a life of sin, and how anxiety and restlessness are a result of this lifestyle. Today we are joined by Fulton Sheen expert Al Smith who has spent the last 17 years studying Fulton Sheen. He offers great insight into the words of Fulton Sheen and how Sheen saw into the hearts of men and knew what they needed. 0:00 The Dangerous Path of Indifference 0:42 A Conversation with Al Smith 2:10 Falling in Love with Jesus 3:59 A God-Incidence Story 10:05 Man's Flight from Silence 21:07 Why We Are Time-Conscious Creatures 35:29 The First Remedy: Confession 42:28 The Power of the Holy Hour

Freedom is not about doing whatever you want. It is the moral power to do what you ought—and that changes everything about virtue, character, and how you love others. In this episode, Christina Semmens unpacks Fulton Sheen's vision of holiness in a conversation that moves from daily self-denial and responsibility to the deeper meaning of freedom as a grace-shaped capacity for good. If you have ever wondered why discipline, law, and moral clarity actually protect freedom instead of limiting it, this episode gives you a compelling answer.Christina shares how virtue forms character, why the law is not a cage but a safeguard, and how surrendering to the Lord builds the inner strength needed to choose the good even when it costs something. She also connects holiness to mission, pointing to Jesus with outstretched arms on the cross as the model for embracing others without abandoning truth.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Fulton Sheen describes freedom as a moral power, not a licenseHow self-denial becomes “daily bread” for a life ordered toward holinessWhy responsibility and virtue are essential to true human freedomHow love of God opens us to love others without losing our moral footingWhat 9/11 and national unity reveal about the danger of fear, division, and discouragementFinally, Christina reflects on the way fear can shape whole societies, how division takes root when we abandon moral clarity, and why the call to holiness is inseparable from the call to witness.If you need a reminder that real freedom is forged through virtue, dependence on God, and courage in the face of division, this is essential listening.Key topicsWhy Fulton Sheen's quotes are serving as “food for the head, heart, hands, and feet” ahead of his upcoming beatification.Freedom is not license — She emphasizes Sheen's point that freedom is the power to do what we ought, not just what we please.Virtue forms true character — She explains that moral power grows through grace, self-denial, and cooperation with the Lord.Law as protection, not restriction — She frames the law as a safeguard that keeps people on the right path rather than a burden that limits goodness.Responsibility matters — She underscores accountability for our deeds and the need to act for the good of all, not selfish ends.Holiness and mission belong together — She contrasts the way of sanctity with the way of mission, pointing to Jesus on the cross with arms outstretched as the model of universal love.Love requires moral clarity — Christina says encountering God opens us to others, but not at the cost of surrendering virtue or good character.Dependence on the Lord is essential — She argues that growth in love and capacity to serve others only happens through reliance on God.9/11 as an example of unity — She recalls how the nation came together after 9/11, setting aside differences after the 2000 election turmoil.Division has spiritual roots — She warns that deceit, discouragement, and division remain active forces in the world and names Satan, Lucifer, as the source of that influence.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Matthew 1:18-23 – This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this Child has been conceived in her. She will bear a Son and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall be with Child and bear a Son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary O Blessed Mother, pray for us!

What did Fulton Sheen teach about suffering, wounds, healing, and the Cross—and why does his message matter so much today?In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with Chantal Howard, author of the new book Show Me Your Scars: Fulton Sheen's Theology of Suffering for a Wounded World, to talk about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's powerful understanding of suffering, redemptive suffering, and what God can do with the wounds we carry. Chantal helps us unpack why Sheen believed suffering does not have to be meaningless—and how our wounds can actually become places of grace, transformation, and deeper union with Jesus Christ. With Fulton Sheen's beatification approaching on September 24, 2026, his teachings are reaching a new generation of Catholics. This conversation explores not only Sheen's theology, but also his prayer life, his love for the Eucharist, his courage, and why his voice may be more relevant now than it has been in decades. Chantal and her husband, Dr. Peter Howard, are also behind the Fulton Sheen Movement, a worldwide effort dedicated to bringing Sheen's life, teachings, spirituality, and mission to a new generation.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3,) Gospel – Luke 4:31-37 – Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbath, and they were astonished at His teaching because He spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon,  and he cried out in a loud voice, “What have You to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are–the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another, “What is there about His word? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” And news of Him spread everywhere in the surrounding region. Saints in Heaven, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 4) Chantal Howard joins Terry to discuss her new book: Show Me Your Scars: Fulton Sheen’s Theology of Suffering for a Wounded World https://fultonsheenmovement.com/book-theology-of-suffering

There is a peculiar wisdom in sitting before the Blessed Sacrament, a wisdom which cannot be hurried into us by books or lectures. Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who made a daily Holy Hour for nearly sixty years, discovered that the soul must sometimes cease talking in order to learn how to listen. “The Holy Hour became a teacher for me,” he wrote, because “looking at the Eucharistic Lord for an hour transforms the heart in a mysterious way.” It is rather like standing in sunlight: we do not grasp the rays, yet by remaining there we are changed by them. Sheen even said that his preaching and “every good thought” were born from that hour before Our Lord. Perhaps this is the wisdom the modern mind finds hardest to accept: that by doing apparently nothing but keeping company with Christ, we may become capable of doing everything else with greater truth, courage, and love. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Alan Smith, a member of the advisory board for the cause of soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to continue exploring Sheen's reflections on the Holy Hour. Drawing from Lord, Teach Us to Pray and the writings of St. Peter Julian Eymard, Smith reflects on Sheen's meditation on the Eucharist as “the Need of Our Heart.” The discussion centers on three powerful themes: Christ's presence, His generosity, and our union with Him. The Eucharist is not merely a reminder of Jesus or a gift that He gives us—it is Jesus Himself, waiting for us in the tabernacle and offering us His merits, His grace, and ultimately His very self. Smith and the Son Rise Morning Show also explore how Eucharistic devotion transforms us into disciples: we become what we adore. Through time spent with Christ in Eucharistic prayer and Holy Hours, we are gradually drawn into deeper union with Him and formed to become more like Him.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Matthew 22:1-14 – Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and the elders of the people in parables saying,  “The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those invited: “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.”' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then the king said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen.” Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church Saint Bernard, pray for us!

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Matthew 18:21–19:1 – Peter approached Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.' Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.' Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?' Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.” When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.

https://tinyurl.com/frcmed-inflitl-transcriptBased on The Eternal Galilean, Chapter I, Fulton J. Sheen (1934).

How do you go about finding your purpose when life feels like a series of decisions made without a clear direction. That is the question I explored with Dr. Peter Howard, a theologian with a doctorate from the Angelicum in Rome and the mind behind the Fulton Sheen Institute, who has spent thirty years building his entire life around a single retreat that changed everything for him. Peter shares the remarkable story of Fulton Sheen tearing up a life changing opportunity because his spiritual director told him God had something else in mind, and what that moment teaches us about trusting God even when the path forward looks uncertain. We also get into how he and his wife Chantal are raising seven kids to seek their own calling instead of rushing into the wrong one, why he believes we are living through what Sheen called the final battle of an era, and the daily discipline that has held his family together through their hardest seasons. If you have ever felt lost about what you are meant to do with your life, I think this conversation will give you a lot to sit with. I would love to hear what stands out to you in the comments, and if this episode speaks to you, please subscribe and share it with someone who needs to hear it. Peter earned his doctorate in theology at the Angelicum, the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome, and has spent the last three decades of his life devoted to the legacy of the soon to be beatified Archbishop Fulton Sheen. He is married to Chantal Howard, who I spoke with in a previous episode, and together they are raising seven children while homeschooling and running a household built around discernment and faith. This conversation is really about finding your purpose, and Peter brings both a theologian's depth and a father's practical wisdom to that question. He tells the story of Fulton Sheen as a young seminarian holding a life changing scholarship letter in his hand, and how one conversation with his spiritual director asking him to trust God completely changed the trajectory of his entire life. We talk about discerning your calling not as a single dramatic moment but as an ongoing posture of trust, and Peter shares how he and Chantal have tried to raise their own kids to genuinely seek God's will for their life rather than default into whatever path looks safest or most expected, including their daughter's decision to take a gap year to figure out her own direction. We also get into some bigger cultural territory, including why Peter believes artificial intelligence represents a kind of counterfeit to what it means to be made in the image of God, and how that ties into what Fulton Sheen called the final battle of an era. Peter opens up about the daily holy hour of prayer that has anchored his marriage and family through genuinely hard seasons, describing it as one discipline that has made the biggest difference in living with purpose day to day. Whether you are in a season of feeling completely lost or just want to hear the story behind Fulton Sheen's own path to the priesthood, I think this conversation offers real clarity on knowing God's will for your life.

For generations, nations around the world admired America, even as they quietly resented her. They wanted our prosperity, our innovation, our culture, and our influence. They watched the American dream become the world's dream. And instead of asking, "How do we become more like America?" too many asked, "How do we bring America down a notch?" That's where the Left found willing partners. For decades, they worked to convince Americans that our success wasn't earned, it was stolen. That our strength was oppression. That our confidence was arrogance. They taught us to apologize for our history instead of building on it. And for a while, it worked. We started exporting self-doubt instead of self-confidence.   Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once said, "Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius." There's a lot of wisdom packed into that one sentence. Because America's influence is undeniable. The real question isn't whether we'll influence the world. We always will. The question is whether we'll export weakness or rediscover strength. Whether we'll apologize for American exceptionalism or remind the world why it admired this country in the first place. I was reminded of that during a recent conversation with a group of Canadians. Listening to them talk about President Trump, America, and the challenges facing their own country, I realized something important. Canada's story isn't really about Canada. It's about what happens when admiration turns into resentment, and resentment needs someone else to blame. “Canada's Identity Crisis: Blame Trump, Ignore Reality” You know, sometimes you have conversations that stick with you because you realize you're not just having a political discussion. You're looking at a culture having an identity crisis. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan.

What if the thing standing between you and a real prayer life isn't discipline, it's the fact that nobody ever made it simple? Allan Smith, author of The Soul of a Disciple: Fulton Sheen's Meditations on the Cross, the Eucharist, and the Christian Life, joins Florencia for a conversation about Fulton Sheen, the Holy Face, and the very small habits that shape a soul. Allan spent years as a plumber before becoming one of the most published voices on Sheen in the world, and he brings the same practicality to prayer: baby steps work. One page. One scripture line.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Matthew 13:54-58 – Jesus came to His native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is He not the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother named Mary and His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters all with us? Where did this Man get all this?” And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” And He did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Saint Ignatius, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

For generations, nations around the world admired America, even as they quietly resented her. They wanted our prosperity, our innovation, our culture, and our influence. They watched the American dream become the world's dream. And instead of asking, "How do we become more like America?" too many asked, "How do we bring America down a notch?" That's where the Left found willing partners. For decades, they worked to convince Americans that our success wasn't earned, it was stolen. That our strength was oppression. That our confidence was arrogance. They taught us to apologize for our history instead of building on it. And for a while, it worked. We started exporting self-doubt instead of self-confidence. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once said, "Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius." There's a lot of wisdom packed into that one sentence. Because America's influence is undeniable. The real question isn't whether we'll influence the world. We always will. The question is whether we'll export weakness or rediscover strength. Whether we'll apologize for American exceptionalism or remind the world why it admired this country in the first place. I was reminded of that during a recent conversation with a group of Canadians. Listening to them talk about President Trump, America, and the challenges facing their own country, I realized something important. Canada's story isn't really about Canada. It's about what happens when admiration turns into resentment, and resentment needs someone else to blame. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A saint's cause gets cleared for the finish line, then suddenly stalls for years. What happened, who pushed back, and why did it revolve around something as physical as Fulton Sheen's remains? We walk through the full timeline with Dr. Peter Howard, who has spent decades studying Sheen's life, writings, and prophetic edge, and who helped rally a grassroots movement to push for clarity and progress.We talk about the New York vs Peoria clash, the court case led by Sheen's niece, and the quiet urgency of moving a body once the courts ruled. Then we get into the official “caution” explanation that kept coming up: the looming New York attorney general report on clergy abuse handling. Howard shares why he believes Rome never had a theological or canonical problem with Sheen's cause, and how institutional fear and American church politics combined into an indefinite postponement that left the faithful confused and frustrated.From there the conversation opens up into the bigger questions people bring to Sheen: his “anti-church” warning, his apocalyptic language as an “unveiling,” and the sense that our era is accelerating into spiritual conflict. We connect Sheen's insights to Marian themes, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima, and we wrestle with modern pressures like propaganda, ideological capture, gender ideology, and the rush toward AI and transhumanism. It's a Catholic Church conversation that stays anchored in history, theology, and the practical need for hope.We also share details for the Fulton Sheen beatification conference and pilgrimage, built to help Catholics understand why Sheen matters now and how “America's saint” could shape a uniquely Catholic culture in the United States.
