From our friend and patriot Guy: Fulton Sheen, leadership will return Goodness, patriotism, honesty and loyalty are losing their battles not by conflict, but by default. Those who are called to be defenders of what is right are not wounded in the battle: they flee. Courage has always been in the past the attribute of those who have faith: now the moral leaders become defenders only of the feeble. They are afraid to speak on vital truths to their troops, fearful that they may incite a revolt or be unloved. The result is every man does what is right in his own eyes. Actually, the troops are yearning for strong leaders who will challenge them and sound trumpets with clear notes. But seeing the shepherds uncertain and afraid of wolves, the sheep scatter. ... In religion and politics alike, leadership will return when a man will not be afraid to make enemies because he loves God above all things. ~ Fulton J. Sheen, Bishop Sheen Writes, Lewiston Evening Journal, July 14, 1973 (page 7A). [Fulton Sheen Guy]
