Amen. God love you.
[Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was an extremely popular figure in the early days of television. This program was broadcast in 1953. Wikipedia describes Sheen's popularity:
The show, scheduled in a graveyard slot on Tuesday nights at 8:00 p.m., was not expected to challenge the ratings giants Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra, but did surprisingly well. Berle joked, "He uses old material, too", and observed that "[i]f I'm going to be eased off the top by anyone, it's better that I lose to the One for whom Bishop Sheen is speaking."[5] Sheen responded in jest that people should start calling him "Uncle Fultie".[11]
That television in the fifties and sixties was different from television today goes without saying. Needless to add, America is different too.]
