Quote of the Day - Fulton J. Sheen

From Dawn Eden's The Dawn Patrol via Father Gregory Jensen's Koinonia:

"One way to make enemies and antagonize people is to challenge the spirit of the world. The world has a spirit, as each age has a spirit. There are certain unanalyzed assumptions which govern the conduct of the world. Anyone who challenges these worldly maxims, such as, 'you only live once,' 'get as much out of life as you can,' 'who will ever know about it?' 'what is sex for if not for pleasure?' is bound to make himself unpopular...

"To marry one age is to be a widow in the next. Because [Jesus Christ] suited no age, He was the model for all ages."

— Fulton J. Sheen, Life of Christ
