Many Americans today are pessimistic about the stability of our nation given our polarised political climate and media. Thankfully, two significant upcoming dates give us reason to hope. In May, Catholics worldwide will celebrate Pentecost, which marks the 1,993rd birthday of the Catholic Church. In September, the Catholic Church will beatify the first American native-born bishop to become a saint: Archbishop Fulton Sheen. The proximity of these events serves as a powerful reminder that the Holy Spirit continues guiding America through the faithful witness of American Catholics such as Sheen.
