GOD AND WAR
The wisdom of Archbishop Sheen is still winning the day. The things he wrote and said on the radio are all coming true.
The reflections contained in this work are a collection of Sheen's Catholic Hour radio addresses from 1942 that were heard by millions of listeners each week. These reflections are a series of short essays that addressed the many concerns of the listeners of his day during the war.
Sheen answers questions about the following topics:
THE THINGS OF GOD IN WAR TIME
SPECTATORS AND ACTORS IN THE DRAMA OF THE CROSS
THE DIVINE COST OF STOPPING THIS WAR
TRUST IN GOD'S PLAN
FAITH IN WAR TIME
PRAYER IN WAR TIME
THE CRUCIFIXION
THE DIVINE PATH TO VICTORY
Sheen answers questions about the things of God in war time, trusting in God's plan, prayer in war, and the Divine path to victory. His were some of the most clearly delineated investigations into the underlying causes of the war combined with an entirely sound and hopeful program for winning both the war and the even more important peace are found in them. These powerful reflections can be most heartily recommended for their wise counsel, sane and penetrating analysis, and logical conclusions. Like a master surgeon, Sheen applied the sharp scalpel of his crystal-clear logic to lay open the sources of the world's infection.
Sheen writes, There are two ways of looking at the war: one as a journalist, the other as a theologian. The journalist tells you what happens; the theologian not only why it happens, but also what matters. Our approach is from the divine point of view, first of all, because it is the only explanation which fits the facts; secondly, because the American people who have been confused by catchwords and slogans are seeking an inspiration for a total surrender of their great potentialities for sacrifice, both for God and country.
Sheen is firm in his conviction that real peace cannot be declared, it must be made. It is with peace-making and the fundamental conditions on which peace must be based that this book is concerned. In its seven forceful and readable chapters, it challenges the theory of many planners today who posture that military allies are necessarily political allies; it affirms that a common hatred can make nations allies, but only a common love can make them neighbors; it denies the primacy of action over reason, in the sense that the will of the state is that which makes a state right; and it contends that utility does not establish justice, but it is justice which makes utility.
With the same lucid and persuasive reasoning that has made him outstanding both as a writer and as a lecturer, Sheen continues to challenge people of goodwill to unite for the preservation of personal rights, freedom of conscience, human justice, and civilization itself - all of which are in danger in the present conflict.
