Fulton J. Sheen

Date of Birth:

08-May-1895

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

Born Peter John Sheen on May 8, 1895, to farm Newt Sheen and his wife, Delia, in El Paso, Illinois, future Bishop Fulton J. Sheen came under the pressure of one of the founding fathers of the Catholic University of America. While serving Mass as an eight-year-old boy at the altar of Bishop John L. Spalding of Peoria, Sheen threw down a wallet and broke it. After Mass, Bishop Spalding spoke to the frightened boy and boldly foretold two about him. First, the bishop stated that he would one day study at Louvain in Belgium; second, she told young Sheen, "one day you will be just as I am."

"Far better it is for you to say: "I am a sinner," than to say: "I have no need of religion." The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God."

"Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything."

"To tell a woman who is forty, "You look like sixteen," is boloney. The blarney way of saying it is "Tell me how old you are, I should like to know at what age women are the most beautiful."
