Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979) was a pioneer in the use of the mass media — radio, television and the press — to convey the truths of the Gospel to millions of people of all religious and ethnic backgrounds. He attributed his phenomenal success to the grace of God, study, and intense personal prayer.
