Fulton Sheen on the Devil: “Anti-Cross”
This is life-changing. This is relevant right now, especially this week. This is true; the Devil is real.
Especially note in the first clip 5:58 – 7:20. He explains that “diabolic” means discord and talks about division in the Church. Then he discusses three ways a psychiatrist has identified the diabolic: 1) love of nudity, 2) violence, and 3) split personality (no inner peace).
Note at 6:00 he discusses three shortcuts to the diabolic: 1) permissiveness, 2) anything that makes us say “Oh!”, and 3) concern only with social and political order.
He begins describing the evil in nations, the disruptive element. “The decline of the spirit of discipline is a hatred of the cross.” It starts in schools.
Listen to the very end, when he tells what he hears when there is silence.
