[WATCH] Bishop Barron on Blessed Fulton Sheen
Dear Friend,
At Word on Fire, we are overjoyed to finally be able to celebrate the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen today. Blessed Sheen is one of Bishop Barron’s personal heroes as well as a special patron in Word on Fire’s work of evangelization.
A brilliant academic, prelate, writer, evangelist, and television personality, he was also a mesmerizing public speaker, endowed with extraordinary oratorical gifts, a charming sense of humor, and a magnetic personal presence. At the height of his fame, Sheen’s radio program, The Catholic Hour, had an audience of four million and his television show Life Is Worth Living was viewed by an estimated thirty million people each week. He had the courage and the imagination to use the new media in the mid-twentieth century to engage a world growing increasingly skeptical of Christianity. And we must follow him in creatively engaging the culture of our own time.
Like Fulton Sheen, we are boldly striving to bring Christ to the culture with intellectual depth and technological creativity. All of this work relies on the generosity of people like you. Whether you choose to support us out of gratitude for how Word on Fire has enriched your personal faith or as a way to help share the gospel with others, we are deeply grateful for any gift you are able to consider.
