#12897 The Legacy of Fulton Sheen - Monsignor Jason Gray

Monsignor Jason Gray discussed the life and legacy of Fulton Sheen during a Catholic Answers Live program.

The discussion covered Sheen's rise to fame as a radio and television star, his methods for creating episodes of Life is Worth Living, and his views on politics and the missions. Gray also addressed how Sheen's Protestant audience perceived him and what Sheen might think of modern Catholic media.

The program included details on the process for Sheen's canonization. Gray explained how the Pope determines who can be beautified, the differences between the titles of Servant of God, Venerable, and Blessed, and how the Church decides if a miracle has occurred. The discussion specifically examined the evidence regarding the miracle attributed to Sheen and what his potential sainthood means for the United States and the world.
