I agree with what James said about Fr. Corapi. He's no Bishop Sheen but he's the closest thing we have IMO. Great blog Laurinda, I see you have a wealth of Fulton Sheen videos. Btw, I split my Mass attendance between St. Louis and St. Mary's Cathedral. =)
Thanks James and Amanda! I need to look into more of Father Caropi's work. I will admit that my first opinion is that he is a bit harsh and more of hellfire and brimstone preacher and that was a big turn-off to me a few years ago. I need to revisit his writings and his television show to see if I understand him better now that my faith is stronger. My parents love him as do several friends so I know that I could benefit from his preachings.
Amanda, you should stop me and say hello if you ever come to 9:30 Mass at St. Louis! Just look for the curly, dark haired girl with the handsome, Irish-bearded man and that is me! We tend to hang out in the gathering space before and after Mass. I hope you both continue to visit my blog, it is a work in progress. I appreciate the comments!
Does anyone really know how to define themselves? I have trouble telling you what I think you need to know about me. I am in my late twenties and working on my PhD in chemistry (I want to teach). I am very involved in my church and have lots of amazing friends. I can't get enough of either of those. I love my family dearly and as much as I love living in Austin I am homesick every day for them and wish I could be with them at all times. I have found the Love of my life and I look forward to every second, minute, hour, day, month, and year that I get to spend with him. We are getting married on August 7th 2010 and it is rapidly approaching! My hobbies include yoga, knitting/crocheting, cooking, reading and surfing the internet.

In my opinion the closest we have to bishop Fulton J. Sheen today would be Fr. John Corapi.

If you haven't heard it already you could start with his conversion story. It is available free on DVD.
