Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Convert Maker Cheryl Hughes
Fulton Sheen was above all a
devout Catholic priest deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to Jesus Christ,
especially in the Holy Eucharist, making a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament
every day of his 50+ years of the priesthood. He influenced countless conversions
to Catholicism, but was always clear that it was the Holy Spirit, not Sheen, who
makes the convert.

anti-religious. On the contrary, its tools and methods give considerable credible
evidence for all of them.
