About this listen

The modern crisis stems from a great divorce—a divorce between those who have the truth and those who do not. In Philosophies at War, Sheen addresses the American people on the themes of government and politics not only as a bishop but also as a conscious citizen. He writes of war and revolution, the need of an absolute (God), and the roots of democracy, patriotism, and peace. He shows that the culture war is not merely political and economic but also theological.

Although this book was originally written in 1943, the issues/ problems discussed therein is very much what we are experiencing in today's world. Fortunately, archbishop F. Sheen also proffer solutions but, do we (humanity) have the zeal to follow it through?

I found the reader's tone very grating. He was clearly trying to emulate Bishop Sheen's dramatic delivery, but it came across like hammy overacting - I visualised him striding across a stage twirling his moustache and waving a swagger stick at the audience to punctuate his points. Despite that, the content of the book is well worth listening to. It is shockingly, eerily prophetic as to the times we live in, though I should warn you he uses dated language. This was written a very long time ago. Even so, the use of the word 'Japs' is particularly regrettable. It isn't used as a slur against individual Japanese people, but against the regime... Still, not nice to hear coming from a soon to be saint, and I thought I should warn you. Despite this faux pas, I have to say that his prophetic accuracy as to the wars we have coming now really do speak to his being clued in to something outside of history. Like I say, worth a listen - although I would advise reading a hard copy of the book if you are able to get hold of it, because then you will be spared the pantomime villainish delivery. Apologies to the narrator. I'm sure he meant well, and maybe others will enjoy it. It drove me up the wall and I nearly returned it, but am glad I persisted.

Worth listening to despite the distracting narration
