Fulton John Sheen (born Peter John Sheen, May 8, 1895 - December 9, 1979) was an American bishop (later archbishop) of the Catholic Church known for his preaching and especially his work on television and radio. For 20 years as Father Sheen, later Monsignor, he hosted the night-time radio program The Catholic Hour on NBC (1930-1950) before moving to television and presenting Life Is Worth Living (1951-1957). Sheen's final presenting role was on the syndicated The Fulton Sheen Program (1961-1968) with a format very similar to that of the earlier Life is Worth Living show. For this work, Sheen twice won an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality, and was featured on the cover of Time Magazine.

The days when a Catholic bishop could make people on television smile... Ahhh... Good days.
...days long gone and probably not to be seen for a very long while...
They can still do so today on EWTN.
They can steel do, only if we wer not so pront to belive fake news
One of the Best.
@@Powerranger-le4up The thing, though, is that EWTN is for Catholics by Catholics. Sure, anyone without faith or a Protestant can (and many do) watch it, but it just doesn't have the same audience as a mainstream, secular channel does.
"Weekly on television and non-profit? Oh boy, have you got a crazy sponsor!" Beautiful.
yeah that was funny.
Notice that Dorothy actually kneels and kisses his ring as is the proper greeting for a Bishop!
'' The most solid round of applause I've heard in a long time''
The respect they give him is beautiful.
I had the honor and privilege of meeting him in the 1970's.
Was he a prophet on some way?I am catholic and so gratefull to God he chose me to be his child and to have such people to follow in Christ like bishop Fulton.
A special moment for you, indeed!
I Sincerely Envy You...
❤️🙏❤️
Fulton J. Sheen. Bishop of Rochester. He confirmed me at Our Lady of Lourdes. Elmira N.Y.
And now we are praying that his beatification wont be sabotaged by the infiltration he was fighting against. Bishop Sheen, please pray for the Church!!!
@@Aviatr23 Are you watching Dr. Taylor Marshall's UA-cam channel?
Anna Bea , yes of course. Voices like his need to be promoted amongst all the laity.
@@Aviatr23 Agreed. Tim Gordon, too.
Anna Bea glad to hear you say that. I am working hard to expose the Communist Infiltration of America and I hope you are too.
The use of French notwithstanding, Sheen’s voice was unmistakable. He could talk about washing windows and it would still sound epic.
Hearing a tape of Bishop Fulton Sheen in the early 80s, I converted to the Catholic faith. Thank you Bishop Sheen!
Welcome home
@@Powerranger-le4up Remember... it's not the Catholic Church that gets you into heaven.. It's through salvation in Jesus Christ and Him alone.."Jesus said I am THE way, THE truth and THE life, no one comes to the Father but by ME⛪
Janei was Duncan that’s the teaching of the Catholic Church too. We agree! ☺️ why would you think the church teaches salvation outside of Jesus?
That’s what the Catholic Church teaches.
Welcome home brother...
Bishop Sheen won an Emmy. Milton Berle said ''How did you beat me out?"
Bishop Sheen said " I have better writers"
Berle said, "We both have the same sponsor--'Sky Chief'". (a product of Texaco, Berle's sponsor for several years)
Berle also said, "If I'm going to be eased off the top, I'd rather it be by the one for whom Bishop Sheen is speaking." :)
And he speaks French, too. Wow. Such a civil, erudite, gracious and honorable man. I'm systematically watching all of his sermons. What a treasure that this man was.
I was blessed to attend Catholic schools throughout & each grade , every “copy book/scribbler had those dear initials in the middle, at the top .......or else sister or lay teacher, same instructions !
He was a genius.
He also spoke Italian and Latin.
@@gusbeau1 Those initials were a dedication we were taught to write before beginning anything dedicating our work to "Jesus, Mary, Joseph". Once I was transferred to a public school the teacher insisted that I stop because he kept mistaking that for someone's signature.
Bishop Sheen studied in France for awhile. He told the story of being frustrated because he didn't know the language and jealous of the horses because they did.
My very Lutheran mother loved watching the Bishop.
What an hilarious moment with Arlene Francis... I laughed out loud! Bishop Sheen was wonderful. I liked how Dorothy Kilgallen kissed the Bishop's ring when he left.
Dorothy was an Irish Catholic - note she kisses his ring as he leaves.
You won't see the modern actresses like Miley Cyrus or Rosie O'Donnel give any reverence to a religious figure.
They are 'gods' unto themselves.
poetcomic1 And genuflect.
@@pipey61
That was the way we were raised and if we didn't, we would hear about it for about a month and a half! We were taught manors and there was no social backlash for having them.
@@dpm-jt8rj manor would dictate shaking his hand not kissing a ring. that is religious dogma Not the same as manors
Again, Dorothy shows her immense respect for the clergy, just like with Sisters Mary Christina, this time with a bow !! So sweet…she must have been raised Catholic 🙏🏽❤️
Yes, she was.
"You got a crazy sponsor".... yeah, his name is Jesus Christ!!!!
I thought it was St. Helene Curtis :P
Amen...
Those were classy days!
what a classy bunch of people
Look at the respect they give the Bishop Sheen. A man very much loved.
Wow! To be in the presence of a Saint. Wonderful
Unless there has been some change in Vatican policy within the past 2 years, Fulton Sheen is NOT a saint. That process has been stopped and there is no indication the Vatican is any hurry to continue the process they themselves stopped.
' Oh boy, have you got a crazy sponsor. '
Classic !
If one watches this and then would revert back to present day television broadcasting, one would quickly see just how fast and how far this society has degraded. Archbishop Sheen is enjoying his eternal reward. Resquiat in pace, Archbishop! Ora pro me!
Oh shut up.
He will be beatified soon.
Yes -- such a shame. the evil adepts sure knew how the American lived and started to destroy by using its own talents in the most alluring ways. The mind is played with horribly and lust is mistaken for real LOVE.. and they don't realize they have been cunningly abused and used till their soul is so lost and the evil demons run their flesh. God Have Mercy --
@Nathan Wilson screw you
@@4seeableTV Bless you, my friend. I love you.
Notice he wrote 'JMJ', Jesus Mary and Joseph, as he wrote his name on the board? Try that today on a game show.
Is that what it is? I always wonder that when I watch him on EWTN.
He could pull it off.
@@ciaran6171 yes JMJ stood for Jesus Mary and Joseph
I went to a Catholic school in the 80s and the teachers would always encourage us to write JMJ on top of our test papers, though it didn't help me get many As... :/
@@awayfarer6813 At St Patrick School we did the same thing. And we folded our papers in half longwise to make 2 columns for spelling or arithmetic. It's funny what you remember from childhood.
I always smile at the fact how the host gave more than the maximum, knowing that it would all go to a charity regardless if it was religious or not, this needs to be done more often.
One of Arlene Francis's most funny moments in her whole WML history. The non-profit sponsor line is golden enough, but then she gets hit by revelation, which only compounds the hilarity.
"You have a crazy sponsor". She killed me, lol.
Kiss his ring? This great holy man is on the path for sainthood.
What a great gesture to a great man. D. Kilgallen didn't care what the TV execs or the audience thought.
It's so sweet to see Dorothy kiss his ring.
This brought tears to my eyes, put a smile on my face, filled my heart with love and an immeasurable reverence for a man of God! What a figure to admire and yes to emulate in our life time.
Future Saint, 100%
Me too! My eyes welled up! Beautifully said, Dorothy.
@@AdtheosI believe he already is, just not officially. Pray, pray, pray!
Brought me to tears...
This Great Man of Christ Lives Forever...
The Lady Bowing to Kiss his hand...
Salutation to Him whom Gives Great Salutation to His People Through His Great Salutation and Humility To Christ...
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Truly at this recorded time A LIVING SAINT.
This is what I love about WML. Not all the mystery celebrities were show business people, or sports heroes, but where actually important players in the culture of that time. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Frank Llord Wright, Salvador Dali, and more. Game shows were elevated back then. There’s nothing like it now.
I'm bringing back the JMJ and kissing the Bishop's hands
His ring
That was class. Bishop Sheen what a holy man. Beautiful times.
The Venerable
Pray for his canonization. Fulton Sheen, pray for us!
The wonderful Venerable Fulton J. Sheen! So Admirable!
*One of the most compelling orators of the 20th Century!*
I deeply admire this great and saint man ,with his intelligence and humor teaches us how wonderful GOD is.
He had the gift of humor while still being profound
I love Fulton Sheen ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Someone who didn't jerk his hand away from a faithful kissing his ring .... so lovely , is my Bishy Sheen
It saddens me to think that this was only a few decades ago, yet it seems like a lifetime. The only thing that keeps me from despairing for our country, is the fact that His denial was foretold and this falling away was expected. Forgive us, Lord.
Christopher Mafnas Amen.
I am amazed by how much of French culture guests and panelists alike knew about in this show!
Praise be to Jesus Christ, Lord over all. God bless my fellow brother in the Lord, Bishop Fulton Sheen. Amen
Won the Emmy award for his show. Today, he would win again. Real reality television. Check it out.
He wouldn’t even be on the air today.
What a marvelous sense of humour! Love 💖 his warmth and openness
I just uploaded a Fulton Sheen joke as a Short, feel free to check it out! I may do more shorts like that with his jokes in the future!
Come on , Saint Bishop Sheen. Soon prayerfully
What a man... 👌 I heard he was saying that he is serious, no sense of humor... 😅 Please pray for us, dear bishop Fulton...♥️
Bishop Sheen - the best of the best! What a good and holy man. Brought God's word to us all so well, no matter what your faith. l love his insightful and intelligent talks, not he makes perfect sense no matter what century we are in.
Wow I wish we had this today we shun anything Christian on media and if its Catholic even more for the host to simply give him the full amount as if he won. This is what our culture needs more outspoken Catholics not afraid to wear our faith on our sleeves. We need leaders that call a sin a sin. Today even Bishops are afraid to offend people and dance around questions, what fruit will you get if the world loves you but you don't speak truth. With people like his exelency Fulton Sheen people respected him because he spoke truth.I am fearful of our future if thing continue on this path, but I think things are turning around with the younger generation so I think hope over rides my fears
Alejandro Murguia The host gave a lot of people the full amount even though they did not win...
@@TheBraveIntrovert
Correct. Which doesn't delete his point one bit.
@@TheBatugan77 I didn't say it did....my comment was 3 years ago.
It couldn't happen today because of the decades of abuse/scandals that have been revealed since. Not passing judgment - that's just a fact.
Poor Finian oh we have solid bishops still, but the prejudice had increased before the abuse was publicized. I'm a teacher in public schools, and I'm often praised for that, while mocked for continuing to be Catholic because of the scandals...even though public school teachers commit a far greater amount of abuse against children than priests ever have. That's not a defense of any abuser - every single one must be held accountable. Yet prejudice holds some to be worse than others, to the point of wanting to destroy one institution while at the same time wanting to throw more tax dollars at the other. My life is easier because I'm not held in suspicion just for being a teacher. People are quick to say the percentage of abusers in public schools doesn't represent all of us. But the same people have no problem lumping all priests together as abusers. That wouldn't have been the case in the 1950s or 60s - people would have held individual priests accountable while continuing to respect the rest.
can you imagine a catholic priest/bishop on a game show today? that would be crazy...its saddening really how society and the media shuns our faith
Bishop Robert Barron would be able to pull it off.
It could be that religious leaders have more self respect than to appear on television.
Fr. James Martin, editor of America, has made numerous appearances on The Daily Show, the Late Show, and other popular programs.
We hear about Catholic priests all the time, just not in a good way.
@@michaeladkins6
Which says more about the media than anything else.
Came back to watch this after hearing that his beatification date has been set for December 21st, 2019. What a holy and admirable man!
Oh that makes sense of why the video got popular all the sudden! This was a dead account, though I'm planning on pushing new content next year.
Was he? He just touched me watching this;;; you know, when you start crying,,, Holy Spirit,,,omg. For sure he can help
I just love bishop Sheen. I hope we can have more bishop like him today that possessed supernatural faith. Pray for us Venerable Fulton Sheen.
I am so happy that this happened and I wish that he was here today, we definitely need him in our lives. But we can always pray to him for guidance and help. I am so happy that he is going to be a Blessed so he is that close to being a Saint.
Abinormal - you probably know by now that his beatification was delayed "indefinitely." But no worries, because, first of all, a Beati ("Blessed") *is* a saint! They're in heaven! The canonization is just a wee ceremony that's called "Raising him to the Altar." And all that means is that he'll be given a Feast day on the Liturgical Calendar. That's wonderful, but he was a saint before then, so we are free to call him so. Saint Fulton J. Sheen, pray for the holy Church and for us all!
Emmy award winner and a man for all seasons.
We love and miss you Blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen. We hope and pray you become our Saint soon!
We so very much need his words of wisdom and faith today in our broken world!
You get more worthwhile commentary from 5 minutes of a Fulton Sheen or a Mother Angelica, than you would from a lifetime of any of todays' late-night toxicity.
How beautiful the gesture of dorothy to kiss the ring to our Venerable fulton sheen, that is a sample of faith of dorothy.
He will be called Blessed Fulton Sheen soon.
She got to kiss the ring of a future Saint!
What's interesting is that the etiquette back then was that the men would stand to shake hands while the women stayed seated, but both women here are standing to acknowledge Archbishop Sheen, and Dorothy kisses his ring. So respectful.
"That is the most solid round of applause I have heard in a long time."
I love this Bishop! He's taught me so much.
This guy is gonna have his status elevated to 'Blessed' in a while, wait for Pope's Confirmation!
I'm related to him :D
MusicHaven2012 It will be Saint.
Yesterday's news,
catholicherald.co.uk/news/2019/07/06/archbishop-fulton-sheen-to-be-beatified/
Sadly the modern bishops of New York can't bear his holiness and have succeeded in blocking SAINT Fulton J. Sheen's beatification. They make themselves look like fools. Archbishop Sheen has a cult (which means a following, not the bad kind of "cult"). In Catholic tradition, holy men and women around whom a cult is formed, so long as they are real people who can be demonstrated to be worthy of veneration by virtue of their devotion to God and His holy will, are eventually recognized undeniably, infallibly as Saints. The fact that Sheen has already officially been found to have a miracle attributed to his intercession will only increase his cult and lead to the Faithful venerating him all the more as Saint Sheen, without waiting for the pope to do the canonization. Plus, the bishops who called for the delay of his beatification, and the Vatican officials (including the pope) who approved their petition owe restitution to all the people who lost money because of short notice cancellation on travel and accommodations, not to mention the income to workers in Peoria who lost wages at Christmastime. Foolish!
Our beloved Sheen was a star
You can hear a lady cheering him above the audience “yay ! Yay!”
My mom would have done that
Moms! Hehe
Just feels GOOD to watch.
One of the good guys!
Sheen rocks!
Wonderful man of God
Today, you couldn't have a religious priest, sister, Jewish rabbi or Protestant minister on a secular show. Some jackass would say it violates the so-called separation of church and state.
The Catholic Church - A power for Good - @
America needs Fulton Sheen, everyone needs JMJ.
Hero in every sense of the word
This was the most random video I posted, can't believe how many views it's garnered! Curious question: how did you end up in this video? Long live Fulton Sheen!
Faithful Catholics continue sharing your link. Thank you for posting it. Bless you.
Love Bishop Sheen as my family. A saint very soon!
Saw the Bishop. Had to watch. He was amazing!
Truth Leaker Looks like a purloined video from the ‘What’s My Line’ UA-cam channel.
@@pinknickelvidz Thank you for watching! Fulton Sheen is awesome, hopefully a saint soon!
Today Cardinal Dolan is very know to the public as well but for very different and opposed reasons than Blessed Fulton Sheen.
Has anybody heard of Fr. James Altman? He is a courageous priest very much in love with Jesus and a great homilist. Unlike Bishop Sheen, he does not write JMJ on the board but every time he mentions the name of Jesus, he lifts his biretta. It's a sign of respect that we should emulate but with a slight bow of the head. I see this in TLM's. Fr. Altman is on UA-cam. Check him out if you are not familiar with him.
Never heard of him. Thanks for sharing!
Bishop Fulton Sheen was an international celebrity in his own time-quite frankly, Fr. Altman doesn’t enjoy that particular status.
Love him.. always watched his show.. EWTN still airs his shows.. and also here on youtube.
The days when $50 worth of earnings could be divided among 300 missions, and it could be expected that it would have some kind of effect.
Wonderful piece! So joyful to watch!
This one is my favorite of all episodes on a variety of levels. Hilarious.
He was and is wonderful. He is a saint.
R.I.P. TO THE SUPER GREAT THE VENERABLE BISHOP FULTON J.SHEEN. I ENJOYED SO MUCH WATCHING THE VETERAN TELEVISION PROGRAMME ----- "WHAT'S MY LINE" 1950'S TO 60'S . FROM U.K. (2022).
He was handsome.
Wow... did he say his church runs over 300 leper colonies?! That kinda blew my mind.
He literally gave I think over 10 million dollars that he had made through television upon other things to good causes. Pretty sure most of that money went to Leper colonies.
While many other regular comedians probably got more credit for funny stuff, I don't think anyone had more consistently good one-liners than Arlene.
This man was a Hardcharger for Jesus Christ! A Saint! Sadly things in this country have sure changed since this a was aired. The canceling out of our Good Priests and nuns and preachers MUST STOP!! Please Lord Jesus Help this country, we are in so much trouble!
Wow, a living saint he was. :)
Bishop Sheen, we love you! Ora pro nobis!
A Saint
I am extremely proud that I'm related to this man. Although some things I disagree with him, I still care, because he is my family. I a, proud to have the last name of him. (And I have proof I a, related to him.)
ii ii I would be extremely proud also. Carry that name with honor.
As well you should be!
You may disagree with him, but be prepared to find out that he's right and you're wrong lol
ABC was proud to have him on their network!!
That wouldn't fly today
@Nathan Wilson I'd watch that
ABC (and before that, DuMont) programmed Bishop Sheen. He was taken off the air by Francis Cardinal Spellman because Spellman was jealous of Sheen. That is why Speelman got Sheen to be Bishop of Rochester, New York.
ABC (and DuMont) were desperate for programming. Bishop Sheen's program was extremely popular.
Bishop Sheen was a great preacher.
this one is great for a laugh - crazy sponsor
I love bishop Sheen🙏🙏🙏
JMJ
What a joy to watch!
💕
Thank you 🙏 for posting!
@James Hama Doing well, James. How about you?
Back when we had real television and real Bishops.
Solid all around.
So awesome that he is old enough to be iconic, yet modern enough to actually have been on TV
Thank you for showing this
My father hated all organized religion. But he always watched Bishop Sheen's program. Sheen got in trouble bringing Protestant clergy to teach family counseling at his seminary. Few would call the Catholic Church "non-profit".
Man o man he’s awesome. I wish they filmed these in color so we could have too not records of this. Ugh I wish ABC would do this again
Love this😊😁
I love the fact that Reverend Sheen didn’t take himself too seriously…
