Fulton Was Not Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s Forename..

He was Peter John Sheen but on his own decided to use his mothers surname as his forename. He changed “Peter” to “Fulton” to became Fulton J. Sheen.

Both of his parents were of Irish descent.

He was rather short, 5 feet 8 inches in height and had a wonderful speaking voice. He was on television in it’s early days when the screen was 10 inches or so and we watched and enjoyed him.Those were the days of my Catholic upbringing and education which included my study and graduation with a degree inb Mechanical Engineering from Villanova college which became Villanova University.. As a true believer I followed the Catholic religion up to about age 40 when I simply stopped. There is the rest of the story but is doesn’t belonh here in a post about Fulton J. Sheen who it appears may soon be cannonized making him a Saint in the Roman Catholic tradition.
