Fulton Sheen — Why Women Can't Become Priests or Give Homilies

Why can't women be priests? Is it because the Church thinks women are inferior?

NO! Watch this video to find out why the Church has a male only priesthood.

Skip to 3:02 if you just want to get the gist of it.

I love this era when preachers didn't care about Political correctness.

I love being Catholic. I was ashamed of it before I began the journey to learn what we believe and why. I'm still on the journey now and always will be. It is a source of great joy in my life and has helped me to fall ever more deeply in love with my Lord and Savior.

Being a catholic is challenging, especially during these times, and we shouldn’t ever give up. During times of difficulty, turn to our Lord, and ask him to help Us carry our crosses! When you carry your cross, your own the right path to the kingdom of heaven.

He's my favorite american person...Pray for us, from Brazil.

As a protestant I love to see thisman preaching the Word

[joemac]

When I hear his voice I hear very clear the voice of Jesus, words of eternal life 🙏 saint bishop Fulton J. Sheen pray for us and for the church because our church needs more saints like you 🙏❤️😢🇵🇹🇺🇸

WOW that is why Jesus is born of Virgin birth, because he is the Word, the Seed that always was, he could not have come from any man’s seed, any sinner’s seed. This faith is so rational and coherent the more you uncover and dig deeper.

Those who have not learned and do not know their faith (Catholic) would never be able to understand Bishop Fulton's explanation.

Venerable Fulton Sheen pray for us today. We need your intercession more than ever.

[TheMalfean]

I wish we had more priests like this around today. :(

[Grittlebone]

Amen. I said this during my RCIA class. It’s how I relate to and understand this teaching best.

Fulton Sheen: Glad I'm not an Anglican

[fakename]

I swear there is not a single video from this time period where someone in the audience isn’t coughing through the entire thing lol

[Lexthebarbarian]

This makes me proud being a Catholic. Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

[archmdc]

Such a remarkable man, priest, and suppressed canonization of a saint!
Imagine what the Church would be today had he been elected as the sovereign pontiff in his life time!

[GrandpaEd]

Thank you for this video. I love Archbishop Fulton J Sheen… We need more Truth spoken today! God bless you and this work. 🙏🏻

[karenrich]

While I don't try to write a homily, I would tell my priest that I enjoyed his and offer questions that might give him ideas on homilies. Sometimes that helps.

[edwardanderson]

Sadly, this is pertinent as the Plenary Council in Australia is debating the ordination of women to the diaconate. Please pray for our country's bishops.

[bishopsheen]

What a wonderful word of truth...we need to hear this more from our pulpits today in america...

[ExVeritateLibertas]

Not a word here with which an Orthodox Christian cannot agree. I'm particularly pleasantly surprised to hear that Rome also views the husband and wife as types of Christ and the Church. (Or at least, it did - Sheen is a bit old school.)
