James Patterson explores the legacy of Fulton Sheen, who combined American values with Catholic principles to combat totalitarianism. Sheen critiqued liberalism and capitalism for their moral failings and potential to lead to communism, advocating instead for a moral economy and religious liberty. His television program, "Life is Worth Living," was pivotal in addressing the spiritual void of the post-war era and converting notable figures to Catholicism. Sheen's influence has left a significant imprint on American cultural and philosophical discourse.
