Blessed Fulton Sheen was beloved by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and his teachings and lectures were widely viewed on both ratio and TV. But his personal life and upbringing are often overlooked. So today, Dr. Hughes talks about the personal side of Fulton Sheen—his childhood, education, and daily life. She details how he got his name, his life as a farmer, what he ate, his time as an altar server, and much more. In many ways, he is an example of an ordinary man that God worked through to do extraordinary things for Christ, His Church, and even America at large.
