Borst Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:37:06 +0000 http://blog.archny.org/?p=177#comment-537 Thank you for your memories of the late Fulton J. Sheen. He taught me a good deal of what I know and understand about our faith. I have read all of his books in print---some a few times. I keep looking for some of those published before I was born to be reprinted. Every time we visit your wonder Church---we were just there last Thursday through the 8th, I kneel outside of Our Lady's Chapel and pray the prayer for his canonization. The comment you recounted was so typical of what I have learned from him---I have most of the videos of his old shows and it is amazing how insightful and prescient he was. Perhaps in your new ministry you could revive an interest in this truly great Catholic---probably the smartest Catholic of the 20th century. Keep up the good work. You are the perfect foil for the culture of death influences that now control my "former" hometown. Oddly enough, my current address is your native St. Louis---we have been hear since the Mets won their 1st WS in 1969. Still can't pull the trugger for the Cards, though I really like Tony.

The daughter of a "Fulton Sheen convert," I was privileged to hear him preach at the very end of his life, and feel his intercession deeply to this day. And it was a delight to encounter our city's warm and loving new shepherd. I hope you will forgive me for referring to you as a "rock star" in my account on my own blog. And by the way, your Excellency, you are doing a fine job blogging, or if you are being "ghost-blogged," your ghost is capturing your presence nicely! Welcome to New York and to the blogosphere, and thank you for the healing and hope you represent!
