Bishop Sheen on Blessed John XXIII

Pope John XXIII is in the news again this week because it has come to light that he was given inaccurate info on Padre Pio. Here Fulton Sheen gives a more holistic description of ‘good Pope John’. Fulton Sheen shows the humorous, devoted-to-sinners sides of Pope John XXIII. Pope John XXIII had a self-deprecating humour: ‘For all eternity, God knew that I was going to be Pope, he had eighty years to work on me, why did he make me so ugly?’
