Venerable Fulton J. Sheen on Coping on Alcoholism


Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree on Thursday, June 28, 2012 that American Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979) is now “Venerable,” in recognition that he lived a heroic, virtuous life. (See http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/archbishop-fulton-sheen-beatification-could-come-very-quickly/ and http://catholiceducation.org/articles/civilization/cc0107.html among hundreds of links.)

Among his prolific writings and presentations, a three-part series, Timeless Wisdom for Those Coping with Alcoholism, may be of particular interest.
