The Rock Plunged Into Eternity
by Fulton J. Sheen
Christ's Mystical Body, the Church has weathered the storms of 20 centuries and keeps on fulfilling its mission in the world in spite of the scandals, defections and sins of its members. Sheen shares with us his unwavering love for the Church notwithstanding all of this, and his reason for it. Built on the rock-solid faith of St. Peter and the promise of Jesus that the gates of hell would not prevail against it, the Church continues to shepherd its members to their eternal home in heaven. Delivered in 1950 against the backdrop of the Church's struggle against Communism, these talks show how the Pope faces the power of totalitarianism in our day as Peter did in his with the only instruments at his disposal, the love and forgiveness of the Lord.
