Among Fulton J. Sheen's thousands of converts
were celebrities such as Clare Booth Luce and Henry Ford II, and former
communists Louis Budenz and Elizabeth Bentley. Reeves discusses these
conversions and Sheen's close friendship with J. Edgar Hoover, and details for
the first time the struggle between Sheen and his chief rival, Francis Cardinal
Spellman, a battle of ecclesiastical titans that led all the way to the Pope
and to Sheen's final humiliation and exile.
