#12898 Fulton Sheen on the Demonic - Tom Nash

Catholic Answers Live released an audio program featuring Tom Nash that examines the teachings of Archbishop Fulton Sheen regarding the demonic. The program explores Sheen's perspective on spiritual warfare and the struggle against evil.

The discussion covers Sheen's view that the devil offers shortcuts to avoid the sacrifices of the Cross and examines why the modern world often views belief in the devil as primitive. Nash addresses Sheen's belief that the Mass and Eucharistic adoration serve as powerful weapons in spiritual combat, noting that the Eucharist provokes specific hatred from demonic forces.

The program also details Sheen's warnings about spiritual complacency, such as neglecting confession, prayer, and the Mass. Additional topics include Sheen's views on the cultural impact of the sexual revolution, the connection between faith and reason, and how the Cross can act as a basis for unity in a fractured society.
