Saintly footwear created by Catholics for Catholics.

When Bp. Sheen, who could be a canonized saint by now if not for the scheming by various U.S. bishops to prevent that from happening, said it's up to us, the laity, to save the Church. he wasn't kidding.

So in addition to all kinds of efforts of the more high-minded sort dealing with the brain and intellect directly, there are also what we might term more down-to-earth efforts (literally, down to earth), like what you put on your feet while walking around. We're talking about Catholic devotional socks, the brainchild of Scott and Elizabeth Williams, who started up Sock Religious — home-based in Indianapolis and just having passed the 100,000 order milestone, making it the biggest Catholic sock company in history.

Scriptures do say, "How beautiful the feet of those who bring glad tidings." So those feet might as well be wearing beautiful socks as well, right? In fact, something we may almost never really pay any attention to in the Bible is feet.

There was a moment when it was just one person.

As we arrive at and live through the holiest days of the year, there is one very tragic yet also profoundly beautiful thought to reflect on — Our Blessed Mother's experience through all this.

In a certain sense, it is not incorrect to say that the entire Church "collapsed" into her while Our Blessed Lord was in the tomb. Remember, the faith of the Apostles had evaporated (even though it was very likely at least some of them were watching the gruesome crucifixion, even St. John up close). Their presence was motivated by love, sadness, emotional attachment — but not Faith.

Remember, none of the Apostles, as well as Mary Magdalene, James and John's mother, none of them, not one, had belief in Our Lord's Resurrection or, when all was said and done, even the prospect of it. The women went to the tomb not to witness their resurrected Lord and God but to finish the burial anointing per Jewish law.

The Apostles were shaking like terrified cats in the Upper Room. Even when Our Lord physically presented Himself to them that first Easter evening, the gospels tell us He had to upbraid them for their disbelief.

So the women didn't believe. The Apostles didn't believe. Even His disciples didn't believe. In a word, they all saw all of this as over.

Now it was turning into every man for himself. No faith, no hope, questionable charity at best.

And before we turn to Our Blessed Mother, let's consider for just a brief moment the reaction of the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin.

As Ven. Abp. Fulton Sheen observes, it is the greatest irony that with regard to Our Lord's Resurrection, His enemies believed and His friends did not.

2023 Winter News Wrap-Up.

It's almost impossible to be involved in the Church — believing, caring, concerned — without being plugged into affairs in the world. Venerable Abp. Fulton Sheen called the world "the theater of redemption."

While we are not of the world, we certainly are in the world. And that imparts a duty, an obligation to be involved in the work of evangelization. And that means a sufficient grasp of the world — what's going on, how it intersects with the Faith — is vital, especially in these days of such tumult and confusion.

It's why Church Militant is so adamant that faithful Catholics be aware of what's going on in the Church, the culture, politics — all of it. You have to be informed and knowledgeable.

That's why, each quarter, at the end-of-calendar quarter, we bring you a summary of the major stories Catholics should know. For today's Vortex, we are going to present the major stories, with analysis, from this just-passed first quarter.

Venerable Fulton J Sheen ~ False Compassion

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen on False and True Compassion.

For 20 years as Father Sheen, later Monsignor, he hosted the night-time radio program "The Catholic Hour" on NBC (1930–1950) before moving to television and presenting "Life Is Worth Living" (1951–1957). Sheen's final presenting role was on the syndicated "The Fulton Sheen Program" (1961–1968) with a format very similar to that of the earlier "Life is Worth Living" show. For this work, Sheen twice won an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality, and was featured on the cover of "Time Magazine". Starting in 2009, his shows were being re-broadcast on the EWTN and the Trinity Broadcasting Network's Church Channel cable networks. Due to his contribution to televised preaching Sheen is often referred to as one of the first televangelists.

Church Militant 2.0.

Our thanks to all of you, once again, for your continuing support and generosity for the work we do here each and every day, as we turn the page on 2022 and look ahead to 2023. If you'd like to contribute to our end-of-2022 fundraiser, please just click on the provided link below — and thank you in advance.

We are very aware of the sacrifice many of you make on our behalf, especially in this current economy, which, by all predictions, isn't going to get any easier in the coming year. And speaking of 2023, in the next few weeks, we will be making some visible changes to our content presentation.

Every now and then in the media world, it's necessary to change things up a bit and produce things in a new and improved fashion — and you can look forward to this coming soon. In preparation, in the last few weeks, we've shortened the time of our Evening News program so we can direct more resources to new programming.

It takes a lot of people here working, not just on camera but especially behind the scenes, to crank out the volume of news, information and commentary Church Militant produces each day — and, unfortunately, we don't have unlimited resources. So we are redistributing the workload to bring you even more analysis and commentary, not just in the area of straight-up theology and faith life, but, just as importantly, in the application — the relevance of the Faith in everyday life.

Unless you're a hermit who has taken certain vows to live apart from the world as much as humanly possible in isolation from day-to-day life, then walking through the world and understanding daily the relevance of our faith is critical. Our Lord sent His followers into the world to baptize it and make disciples of all nations.

But given the complexities of today's world, the never-ending news cycle and what often appears as one debilitating effect after another (especially in the Church), the Great Commission, as it is called, can sometimes seem next to impossible. Even faithful Catholics can seem buffeted and tossed about by modern life with its constant barrage of sadness, confusion and distraction.

...

Evil — the power of Hell — is much stronger than our frail, fallen ability to withstand it. We cannot save ourselves. Left to our own devices, evil will always crush us underfoot. It's for this reason that the Eternal Logos was incarnated and then established a Church to last throughout time, and if we enter into it and remain faithful (even when we fall), that victory could be achieved.

That is the good news. The fight now has meaning. The victory can be won. Heaven has provided an opportunity, a tiny crack through which we can escape the pains of this world and the everlasting flames and torments of the next. For 2,000 years, this has been the view and understanding of the Church (the saints, the Fathers, the Doctors, the martyrs).

Each successive generation has had to plow through the world on the way to meriting salvation, made possible only because of the love and mercy of God. But those two parts there — the world and salvation — bring about a dynamic tension in our lives. Our faith lives must win out, but that cannot happen in isolation from the world.

In fact, Abp. Sheen used to refer to the world as the "theater of redemption." Correct! Our Lord has redeemed us — something we could never have done on our own. It's why His chief way of being understood is as savior, not teacher (although He obviously taught) or miracle worker (although He obviously performed miracles) but as savior, the bringer of salvation.

Sometimes, one moment reveals everything.

Some of you may have heard me relate the following before, but given the times, it bears repeating, and for the record, which will become clear, I was an eyewitness to this.

I attended freshman year of high school, the second semester anyway, in San Francisco's Sacred Heart school. The year was 1976, so the country's bicentennial happened while we were living in the City by the Bay.

We had an apartment directly across the street from St. Mary's Cathedral, the temple to modernism that looks like a washing machine agitator — horribly ugly, surpassed only by the ugliness of Cdl. Mahony's Los Angeles monstrosity.

Anyway, the celebration of the country's 200th birthday was occasioned by a noon Mass at the cathedral, where Abp. Fulton Sheen was the guest homilist. I was one of the lead altar boys at the cathedral and served at the Mass. I got to hear Sheen preach about faith and patriotism.

I heard him with my own ears, sitting barely 10 feet behind him. His words were so powerful, so moving, so touching that I used them a few years later in a story I did on July 4 when I was a reporter in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

But it would not be those words that would make the lasting mark in my memory — what I think of as "the Sheen moment." In fact, most in attendance that day at the bicentennial Mass did not hear what I heard. A few did; including my father, who stood in the doorway to the sacristy.

Something very different from comradeship.

Back in the day, one of our heroes here at Church Militant, the Venerable Abp. Fulton Sheen, correctly observed: "The world is rapidly being divided into two camps: the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn."

As we said, that was back in the day.

Fast forward more than half a century, and it's pretty safe to say that the lines are no longer being drawn but are pretty bright. Notice Sheen's own line-drawing is showing the lay of the land: Brothers share the same blood and are united because of their bonds. Comrades simply share the same ideology and are united in their pursuit of destruction, with a healthy dose of self-interest mixed in.

The line drawn between the forces of Christ and anti-Christ relates directly to communism — and not really the economic aspect but the theological aspect. At the heart of communism is not so much godlessness per se, but rather a swapping of gods. It's the overthrow of God and the replacement of Him by the State.

It's why you're alive.

We're going to make this short and sweet today. Our Blessed Lord gave a command as He ascended to Heaven: It was to make disciples of all nations.

Translation: "Save the world."

That's right — the job of Catholics is just that simple. Save the world. In fact, our personal salvation depends on that single issue. If you are not about saving the world, you'll be damned. It's that straightforward.

Now, granted, Catholics have not had their Catholicism, their mission, presented to them in those terms in quite a while, thanks to loads of gay bishops and their modernist filth and perversion. But despite the failings of the U.S. hierarchy over the past 60 years to instill this mission into the hearts, the minds and the souls of Catholics, it remains our life's work.

Put nicely by Ven. Abp. Fulton Sheen, "The quickest way to Heaven is to take someone else's hand and lead them there."

The Vortex — The Left's 'Integrity'

Much greater than Catholics'.

It needs to be said — the Marxist, lefty media have more integrity than most Catholic so-called media.

"Why?" you ask. Because the Left, to borrow from Abp. Sheen (one of our Church Militant heroes), have all zeal, even if they have no truth.

The Marxists work toward a common goal, an agenda larger than themselves. They are driven by their worldview and will sacrifice to achieve it. A huge portion of the Catholic (again, so-called) media work not for a global agenda but rather to ensure self-comfort. It really does boil down to a question of integrity.

It is, in fact, precisely the greed and self-centeredness of these "professional Catholics" of the media world that has allowed the Marxists — or, in the Church, modernists — to succeed so far beyond their imaginings.

Let's look, for example, at the activity of these Catholic so-called journalists in the Church of Nice as it relates to Fr. James Martin. Here is a man who refuses to reveal his own sexuality (which is a sort-of admission) as he tromps around the Church extolling gay sex and calling the disordered passion "a gift" — and saying that God is the author of this disorder. "Being gay isn't a sin. It's the way that God made some people," he says. They were born that way, he says (which, of course, means they would have been conceived that way).

Sure, the Catholic notables on the Right in the world of social media and a certain television network gone awry will, from time to time, condemn the homosexualist Jesuit's ramblings. But see, that's where it stops. The underlying support mechanism within the hierarchy for this celebrated dissident is allowed to go on unchallenged, unremarked on and, therefore, advancing his evil.

Faithful Catholics are sick and tired of hearing about Pope Francis this and Pope Francis that. They've already written him off, even as he hails down recriminations against them. But the ecclesiastical swamp of modernism from which he arose — that story never gets reported on.

And it doesn't get reported on because that would mean naming names of the same bishops who sit on their boards, give them permission to speak at conferences, even grant them interviews — interviews which keep the facade propped up that the media outfit is some reliable source of information, with its finger on the pulse.
