ARCHBISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN, 1979: Children require moral formation, not permissive abandonment disguised as freedom.

In 1979, just weeks before he died, Archbishop Fulton Sheen gave his final interview to Marie Torre of WABC. The 5 most important things he said in the interview were.... 1. Modern erotic culture is a failure of purpose, not merely a failure of rules. 2. Children require moral formation, not permissive abandonment disguised as freedom. 3. The human heart wants life, truth, and love in an absolute form; this desire points to God. 4. The Church cannot become credible by copying the world. 5. The family depends on sacrificial love, not mutual self-satisfaction.

When he gave this interview, no one knew it would be his last. Let us never forget his wisdom.
