Many want a religion…
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Souls fall away…
Souls generally do not fall away from Christ because of the Creed; they first have difficulty with the Commandments.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
A modern preacher…
Many a modern preacher is far less concerned with preaching Christ and Him crucified than he is with his popularity with his congregation. A want of intellectual backbone makes him straddle the ox of truth and the ass of nonsense. Bending the knee to the mob rather than God would probably make them scruple at ever playing the role of John the Baptist before a modern Herod. The acids of modernity are eating away the fossils of orthodoxy.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
One thing matters…
Only one thing in life matters: Being found worthy of the Light of the World in the hour of his His visitation.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Like a cash register…
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Baloney and blarney…
Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
