{"product_id":"jmj-catholic-cufflinks","title":"Blessed Fulton Sheen Rhodium Plated Catholic Cufflinks","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThese cufflinks honor Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, the greatest American Catholic preacher of all time. He was a philosopher first, with a doctorate from the University of Louvain, and he taught at the Catholic University of America for more than twenty years. For over two decades his voice carried \u003cem\u003eThe Catholic Hour\u003c\/em\u003e on national radio, and in 1952 he went on television with \u003cem\u003eLife Is Worth Living\u003c\/em\u003e. Up against Milton Berle in prime time, a bishop with a blackboard and a piece of chalk drew millions of viewers every week and won an Emmy. He wrote more than sixty books and brought converts like Clare Boothe Luce and Henry Ford II into the Church. Historian Thomas Reeves titled his biography \u003cem\u003eAmerica's Bishop\u003c\/em\u003e, and on September 24, 2026, the Church beatified him in St. Louis. He is also our son's namesake!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eJesus, Mary and Joseph\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eEach cufflink carries the three letters Sheen chalked at the top of his blackboard before every broadcast: J.M.J., for Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Generations of Catholic schoolchildren were taught to head every page with them, and Sheen said the habit started for him in kindergarten. He kept it all his life, and at his beatification Mass the priests' vestments were embroidered with the same letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhy These Cufflinks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWriting J.M.J. is a short prayer. It offers whatever comes next, a letter, an exam or a day's work, to Jesus through the hands of Mary and Joseph, and asks their help to do it well. These cufflinks keep that offering at a man's wrist. The black enamel and polished rhodium sit as easily with a priest's clerical black as with a dinner jacket, which makes them a good gift for a priest, for a black-tie wedding or gala, and for anyone who came to the faith through Sheen's books and broadcasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhodium plated with black enamel inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 20mm x 12.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePair them with our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicmensshop.com\/products\/ihs-christogram-tie\"\u003eJHS Christogram Silk Necktie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e in Silver, the Holy Name of Jesus that the first J stands for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4476\/8177\/files\/cms-sheen.jpg\" alt=\"Bishop Fulton J.
