Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was an outspoken critic of Communism and wrote a fine book I own Communism and the Conscience of the West and spoke out on his TV show about the attempt to substitute the State for God and to destroy the family and freedom of thought in education and the press.

Fun fact: Charlie Sheen’s dad Martin Sheen chose the stage name to honor Fulton J. Sheen whom he admired.

Good words! I would only add that we don’t stay in the close or isolate ourselves. We are called to engage the world that has always been hostile to God’s Word.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matt. 6:6

Matt. 16:15 Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature…

Matt. 10:16 Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Kipling summed it up nicely in, "The Gods of them Copybook Headings." People will always flock to slickly packaged fashionable ideas that feel good, gleefully abandoning established, time-tested truths in the process.

Or a Chesterton said, “The problem with Christianity is not that it has been tried and found wanting, but that it has been found difficult and left untried.”
