Description
The Priest is Not His Own by Fulton J. Sheen explores the role and responsibilities of the Catholic priest through a unique lens. This work asks priests to view themselves as victims, just like Christ, who offered himself as the sacrifice that would save all mankind. Fulton J. Sheen was an archbishop, writer, and media host who spent his early years pursuing knowledge. He wrote 73 books on various topics related to Catholicism and theology, including this 1963 treatise. The Priest is Not His Own is dedicated to understanding the priest's role as a willing victim, exploring how this perspective can inform their duties. This book offers insight into the life and work of Archbishop Sheen, who balanced his duties as a bishop with media appearances and writing. It provides a thought-provoking exploration of the Catholic priest's identity and responsibilities.
