App lets you listen to hours of (almost) Blessed Fulton Sheen audio recordings

UPDATE: Beatification set for December 21, 2019 in Peoria, Illinois (USA).

If canonized, he will become the first American-born male to be declared a saint. Venerable Fulton Sheen made it one step closer today with the Vatican announcement of the pope’s approval of a miracle attributed to the beloved 20th century American televangelist. This paves the way for his beatification (which has yet to be scheduled). A second miracle attributed to Sheen would lead to his canonization. Happily, a marvelous app is already in place for you to experience his dynamic preaching with all its explosive, captivating drama contained in 284 audio talks!

Thanks to Catholic Vault, you can enjoy in the palm of your hand the extensive MP3 collection of talks and sermons from original recordings dating back to 1950. Listen to the famous voice that inspired millions to draw closer to Jesus Christ, developers say of the digitally remastered recordings. Topics cover the gamut of human experiences in single, married or ordained states of life; spirituality; prayer; catechesis; Scripture and much more.

The free version of this app allows you to listen to a couple talks from each category. You can upgrade by purchasing the full version to have access to all 284 talks! These MP3s are streamed, not downloaded, so they take up no storage space on your device. A connection is required to play properly.

Here’s a video demo to give you an idea of the audio quality:
