Mindless blather. I've seen some awful things ascribed to Bishop Sheen, and, perhaps, they are all true, but I don't see much being offered as citation or proof.

And are we really supposed to accept Cardinal Spellman as a champion of orthodoxy?

Why would Sheen die a broken man if he repented?

Exactly.

I've been listening to him on Youtube  this week and have been very edified by many of his remarks on family life, and in particular his love and devotion to Our Lady.

How Bishop Fulton J. Sheen ended his life is shrouded in silence, for whatever reason.  It would seem he could easily have written a book in retrospect before he died, but he would have had to seek out some way of getting into sympathetic hands without his overseers finding out about it.  

A woman said she met him on a public train shortly before he died, and he was not looking well.  She related that Sheen had told her that he regretted going along with the popular revolution at Vat.II and its aftermath, and that he wished he had held on to precious traditions that had been set aside, including the Traditional Latin Mass and sacraments.  But the spirit of revolution was very strong and he had been swept away like so many others, and now (then) it was too late for him to do anything about it.  

He had once been the foremost spokesman for the Church in America with his popular TV show, but after the revolution dug in, he had lost his place of prominence, and no longer was recognized by the new generation of so-called Catholics.  He had no way of getting his message out and the revolution certainly did not want him to contradict any of its principles.

When I attended an SSPX chapel, I checked out a video (or maybe it was a cassette) from the library there of one of Bp. Sheen's programs, and it was about his support for the Vll Council. If I recall correctly, he thought it was a good thing that non-Catholics were allowed to attend it. He was supportive of the Council, but he also said that he had a few concerns, but didn't express what the concerns were. I was quite surprised to hear his support for the Council. Did he also support the New Mass, does anyone know? I think that he must have.
