Sheen helped millions of Catholics and non-Catholics ,...
his sermons are 95 percent still relevant today...and I wish they’d get more airplay
....
a very very very very minor quibble...
Sheen: “He will set up a counter-Church, which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God.”
me: yes indeed, but most of this evil will be achieved by infiltrating existing churches and synagogues... whether Catholic or otherwise, churches that teach or attempt to teach God’s word................and, from within, take them over ....to replace any kind of genuine Biblical or moral teachings with “another gospel”...including patently anti-moral “values” that destroy people, families, and society.
same idea as Ven. Sheen.. just explicating it a bit with the advantage of hindsight.... the most serious dangers today are not new churches but the infiltration of “enemy agents” into existing churches that, up until now, have (allowing for their varying distinctives, doctrines)...been (largely, anyway) preaching and teaching Biblical messages and values
the greatest dangers come from the wolves within the sheeps’ fold, imho
And even more astounding, the lack of huge push-back from the bishops. There are over 5,000 bishops (more or less) in the Catholic Church around the world, and those openly opposed the Francis' antichurch program number ---as far as I know -- in the low dozens.
Raise up saints, O Lord. Make us saints.
I was shocked to read recently that Cardinal Spellman had Archbishop Sheen effectively exiled and the elevation to the Archbishopric was a cover for his Machiavellian act.
Infilterating existing churches
