Ven. Fulton Sheen: ‘The Declaration of Independence Is a Declaration of Dependence’
‘Because God made us free, we have rights,’ said Archbishop Sheen. ‘Because God made us creatures, we have duties.’
‘Because God made us free, we have rights,’ said Archbishop Sheen. ‘Because God made us creatures, we have duties.’
Almighty God ‘has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat’
May we remain always faithful to God, our brothers and sisters in Christ, and our beloved country.
Happy Fourth of July! As we prepare for Independence Day, let’s do some trivia on Catholic connections in the American Revolution. Register writer Joseph Pronechen has the facts about some of the unsung Catholic heroes who made their mark at our nation’s beginnings. But first we look at important Church news in the U.S. this week: Register Editor-in-Chief Shannon Mullen discusses the Vatican’s apostolic visitation of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas.
BOOK PICK: On July 4, 1941, then-Msgr. Fulton Sheen published a book to stir America’s soul into realizing what its independence entailed and to warn Americans what they must do to keep it.
COMMENTARY: There’s no arguing it: The United States of America, as our founders conceived it, started in 1776.
It’s true that the United States has further progress to make, but abandoning our founding principles is no way to get there.
How our country’s lyrical legacy honors the Almighty
EDITORIAL: Any discussion of genius and influence must include two names, one the author of the Declaration of Independence and the other a doctor of the Church.
