The Masses Are BLIND to the Tragedy. By Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

It is a characteristic of any decaying civilisation that the great masses of the people are unaware of the tragedy.

Humanity in a crisis is generally insensitive to the gravity of the times in which it lives. Men do not want to believe their own times are wicked, partly because they have no standards outside of themselves by which to measure their times.

If there is no fixed concept of justice, how shall men know it is violated?

Only those who live by faith know what is happening in the world; the great masses without faith are unconscious of the destructive processes going on, because they have lost the vision of the heights from which they have fallen.

Relativism is the cause of decline in society. It is the worm that is burrowing right into the maw of a world gone mad. Josef Pieper's LIVING THE TRUTH is a good start on understanding what truth is versus self-contradictory relativism. Aristotle does a masterful attack on it, but Pieper is a good start for the layman. So is Peter Kreeft's RELATIVISM. I remember Sheen's masterful television attacks on this insanity in the 1950s (yeah, I am old) and I agree his canonization process hold up is bizarre. The latest attack o him is that he did not discipline a pedo cleric in Rochester. while there is NO evidence he ever knew about it.

Stop the holdup of Bishop Sheen’s beatification. Shame on the heretical cardinals who blocked his scheduled beatification. They are jealous and humiliated by his saintliness. He proves the error of all modernists.
