(May 8, 1895\u2013December 9, 1979), was an American Catholic Bishop whose powerful communication style and pioneer use of the television helped shape the conscience of the nation during his lifetime. He was professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America, 1927\u201350; bishop of Rochester, New York, 1966\u201369; and in 1952 won an Emmy for outstanding male personality on television. His works include: Peace of Soul, Lift Up Your Heart; Three to Get Married; Life is Worth Living;<\/i> and The Life of Christ. <\/i>Named as one of the ten most important Americans in 1953, Bishop Fulton J.
