Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops, like bishops, and your religious act like religious.
--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1972

"Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong. Right is right, even if nobody is right." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"Most people today want a religion which suits the way they live, rather than one which makes demands upon them. Religion thus becomes a luxury like an opera, not a responsibility like life." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"The correct definition of a good Catholic, is a Catholic who takes the salvation of his soul seriously." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"Truth: You can throw dirt on it, but it'll still exist." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"The Lord hears us more readily than we suspect; it is our listening to God that needs to be improved." - Bishop Fulton Sheen
"God can do something with those who see what they really are and who know their need of cleansing but can do nothing with the man who feels himself worthy." - Bishop Fulton Sheen

"It is so hard to admit that one is a sinner; it is so hard to climb the hill of Calvary and kneel beneath a cross and ask for pardon, forgiveness. Certainly it is hard.
"But it is harder to hang there."

"Dostoevsky wrote that in a future day men would say there is no crime, there is no sin, there is no guilt, there is only hunger; then men will come crying and fawning at our feet saying to us, "Give us bread." Nothing will matter except the economic.
A spirit of license makes a man refuse to commit himself to any standards. The right time is the way he sets his watch. The yardstick has the number of inches that he wills it to have. Liberty becomes license and unbounded license leads to unbounded tyranny. When society reaches this stage, and there is no standard of right and wrong outside of the individual himself, then the individual is defenseless against the onslaughts of cruder and more violent men who proclaim their own subjective sense of values. Once my idea of morality is just as good as your idea of morality, then the morality that is going to prevail is the morality that is stronger." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
