Papers like Time of Mr Luce and his friends were preparing Catholics in the US to morph into followers of americanism. People like J. C. Murray but also Fulton Sheen were very useful in that process. They are false saints of the false religion.
In the 80s I had a set Bishop Sheen cassettes that I would pop in the cassette player of my car when I drove to and from work, 140 mile round trip. It was great and Bishop Sheen's voice sounded as though he was right there in the passenger seat. I used to play them on occasion for the CCD classes I taught. Do they still distribute/sell his magnificent sermons?
Another great article by Anthony Esolen. We have a pontificate that refuses to evangelize because those in charge have given up on doctrine. Pastoral care without doctrine is social work.
Pastoral care should be priests helping people know the true faith and be in the state of grace. Pastoral care iis spiritual in nature. The pope is not the leader of a political movement or a food program or of the world. Priests are spiritual fathers. The laity should be living the faith and helping the poor and homeless and ill and downtrodden, etc., etc.
