"It is easy to find the truth, though it is hard to face it, and harder still to follow it." Blessed Fulton J. Sheen
Sheen was very obedient & humble! Thanks for the post @thattradgal
When Fulton Sheen returned from Europe with an exceptional education, he expected to teach at The Catholic University of America.
Instead, his bishop sent him to a parish in Peoria.
Why?
“I was afraid you might become proud. I wanted to find out if you were obedient.”
Sheen obeyed.
Eight months later, he was appointed to teach at the university.
Obedience is not proven when authority agrees with your ambitions, but when you humbly submit to legitimate authority, even when its decisions contradict your own plans.

Solemn High Mass || Easter 1940 - Narrated by Fulton Sheen
A Traditional Catholic Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1940 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then-Mgr. Fulton J. Sheen. Celebrated by Rev. J. R. Keane of the Order of Servites (hence the white habits and cowls), the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir, orchestra, and fifty Gregorian Chanters.
While this is an older video of the Traditional Latin Mass, it is a good educational video that is still relevant even today. The attention to detail in the ceremonies is impressive. Notice, for example, how the servers and priests always take great care to move in order. Notice too that the servers are all almost identical in height. The Ordinary of the Mass, composed by Rev. Edwin V. Hoover, while pleasant in places, is very much a reflection of its time. The Proper on the other hand is timeless and sung admirably by a healthy throng of Seminarians from Mundelein, Illinois.

This is a good explanation by Sheen.
Fulton Sheen explains his views on excommunication to William F. Buckley in 1970 on ‘Firing Line’.
“Well again, it’s the change with the spirit of the times. I think the Church has become much more patient and kind. It’s much more related to the world than it was then — the Church was very much locked up in itself, after all what the Vatican Council did was to relate it to the world.”
Hyper progressive. Watch until the end. ☠️

"Nothing is more destined to create deep-seated anxieties in people than the false assumption that life should be free from anxiety."

Latest Substack: On Crowds--and Relics.
"But perhaps the madness is not in the crowds or the relics.
Perhaps the madness is assuming there is no Creator or afterlife. That this is all there is. Not understanding devotion to ultimate truths. Dismissing relics as mere superstition instead of understanding how they connect the faithful to the communion of saints."
