Called and Chosen: The Never Changing Face of the Priesthood
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Most will not dispute that today’s Catholic priesthood is in serious crisis. Increasing reports of scandal and open challenges to the Church’s teaching on issues such as celibacy, married priests and the ordination of women are documented and well known. But this is not the first time in the Church’s long history that the priesthood has been seriously questioned or even out-rightly attacked.
Since Vatican II ended, misunderstandings and misconceptions regarding the priesthood and have emerged because of widespread misreading of the Council documents. What can be done to respond to these challenges and clarify the issues at hand? Where can ordinary Catholics turn for answers to better understand the tragic situation and to show their solidarity for the sacred priesthood in these troubled times?
Contemporary Prophet?
Now you can be privileged to share the fruit of Archbishop Sheen’s preparation, prayer and suffering as you listen to these outstanding discourses. As he draws from his incredible grasp of Sacred Scripture, Church history, modern psychology, literature and pastoral experience, Sheen can be considered a contemporary prophet because of his ability to identify the looming problems threatening the Church, in particular those infecting the priesthood.
Not content to accept these evils as inevitable or insurmountable, the Archbishop provided concrete solutions to triumph over them. You will appreciate his words of wisdom and welcome his unbelievable candor as he encourages the ordained to better serve the People of God and strive for holiness first.
Priesthood as a Gift and Mystery
Hear the magnificence of Archbishop Sheen like never before. Digitally re-mastered and enhanced, this is a special set that needs to be listened to over and over again so that its powerful message can be fully incorporated.
Let the firm conviction and compelling eloquence of this great shepherd of souls provide spiritual answers needed to counter vicious attacks against the priesthood and to dispel all confusion about this special calling.
In this series, you’ll learn...
» How priests continue the Hypostatic Union by their sacred duties
» How Vatican II defined the priesthood and its triple office
» Why rebellion is the greatest sin of the human race
» Why priests have a deeper mission than merely “doing ministry”
» How our Lady intimately shares in the work of all priests
» How sacrificial love is perfectly expressed in priestly celibacy
» Why women cannot be priests – Theologically or biblically

» And so much more!
