This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
Fulton Sheen, fully Archbishop Fulton John Sheen
Freedom does not mean the right to do whatever we please, but rather to do whatever we ought... The right to do whatever we please reduces freedom to a physical power and forgets that freedom is a moral power.
The roads to freedom do not run through the lands out yonder, but rather through our inner selves.
One need remain in hell no longer than he chooses to; and the moment he chooses not to remain longer, not all the powers in the universe can prevent his leaving it. One can rise to any heaven he himself chooses; and when he chooses so to rise, all the higher powers of the universe combine to help him heavenward.
