Good Friday Special: Fulton Sheen (2006)

TV. This program was broadcast in 1965 and is quite a bit heavier than his Angels talk (which included humor) but with a more human touch towards the end. I say heavier in the sense that it is solemn (as one would expect for a Good Friday homily); as far as substance, all of Bishop Sheen's talks are imbued with "meat" that you can take away with you. Here he presents the cross of Christ as a figure for how humans approach God and each other: with apathy (indifference), antipathy (hate or opposition), or sympathy (love or support). 3 stars.
