I imagine that has saved more vocations than anything else.
The first thing that goes a lot of times when it comes to people who abandon their vocation is they first abandoned prayer.
They first compromised with their dedication to spending time with Jesus.
The fourth thing was getting involved with stopping
a cultural poison, and that is communism.
That we recognize that communism is antithetical to Christianity, it's antithetical to the dignity of the individual person.
And Archbishop Sheen was massively, massively important in giving a voice as to why we could not as Christians, could not as Americans, definitely could not as Catholics,
be communist.
And he's like, wait, wait, here's a bishop whose specialty is theology.
His specialty is things having to do with religion.
Why would he be involved in this big question of communism?
And the answer is because we know this.
We know that everything's connected.
As human beings, it's all connected.
It's not like I do my one thing on Sundays and then the rest of my life is disconnected from that.
It's how we think about everything is united on the person of Jesus.
in Archbishop Sheen was a voice, a powerful voice, standing against the evils of communism.
And I would say that what we need now is a voice like that again.
We need a voice that can stand against the evils of communism and the evils of socialism, because they're both evil.
They might want the same end.
