James Patterson, an associate professor at Ave Maria University, explores the significant impact of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on 20th-century American Catholicism, detailing Sheen's educational path from Saint Viator College to the University of Louvain. Patterson underscores Sheen's promotion of Catholic patriotism and his battle against totalitarian ideologies like communism, navigating through a predominantly Protestant America with anti-Catholic prejudice.

Despite resistance, Sheen's intellectual and theological contributions made him a central figure in shaping Catholic thought and public discourse in the United States.
