Dr. Peter Howard, founder of the Fulton Sheen Institute and Movement, joins the show to preview "Fulton Sheen: American Saint," a full-day conference taking place September 23 in St. Louis on the eve of Archbishop Sheen's beatification. Howard shares his own conversion story through Sheen's recorded talks, explains why Sheen is being called America's saint, and previews keynote speaker Arthur Brooks along with an accompanying pilgrimage. It's a must-listen for anyone hoping to understand why Fulton Sheen's beatification matters for the Church in America.
