“Anxiety increases in direct ratio and proportion as man departs from God.” - Fulton J. Sheen In his 1949 book Peace of Soul, Fulton J. Sheen connects much of modern psychological distress to a person’s spiritual condition. He argues that anxiety and inner turmoil tend to grow when individuals become increasingly disconnected from their relationship with God. Sheen believed that because human beings have free will and the ability to distinguish between good and evil, turning away from spiritual purpose can create a sense of inner conflict and instability. In his view, lasting peace cannot come from material achievement alone; it requires restoring harmony between one’s inner life and spiritual beliefs.
