Fulton Sheen Rocks!

So I just can't contain it! I have to share. I keep hearing tidbits about Archbishop Fulton Sheen and how great he is. So I was at the Catholic bookstore and I was looking at the books and didn't want to spend much money but really wanted to read something of his. I picked up the least expensive book and am currently reading "The Divine Romance."  SO good. Anyway I just read this chapter all about how the Church is the new Body of Christ and and the Vicar of Christ etc. He goes on to speak about how the Church doesn't come down on important yet difficult teachings. Just as Christ did not come down when He was suffering on the cross and people said, come down and I will believe. And I quote,

"The divinely suprem emiracle of Christ's whole life and the whole life of the Church 

is that she does not come down......The miracle is to be able to come down, and yet not to 

come down. It is human to come down, but it is divine to hang there."

Can you tell I am excited about this. He just really made some great points. And he said I would not discredit Christ because of the followers who left Him. In the same way I do not discredit the Holy Catholic Church for the mistakes of some of the followers. 

Thank you Fulton Sheen for inspiring my day today! Pray for us!
