Venerable Sheen Video Analysis

587 Words3 Pages

In the video we watched, Fulton J Sheen explained angels better than anyone else could. I didn’t know who he was or what he did before that class but now I am extremely impressed by how he explained the ideas the church teaches. He is obviously an incredibly smart man and I was surprised that he was comical as well. Venerable Sheen does not fit into the bishop stereotype at all. In the video he was fairly young, always smiling, and cracking jokes that were probably modern for the time. I think Sheen is the perfect example of how we should live a Christian life. He taught Christians about the faith in a way that was understandable and still understandable today. I completely agree with his thoughts on angels and the kingdom of God. The world is definitely isolated and confined in a way that humans can’t understand what is outside the realm of the living.

I can apply this knowledge of what Venerable Sheen thinks about angles to our many discussions on matter, form, sustenance, and accidents. From what Sheen said, I know that angels can’t have any matter or a form. This idea truly stands out to me because I have always thought of angels as flying babies that play harps but now I know that is definitely not the case. They can probably appear as flying babies playing harps but that’s not what they really are. They are simply beings separate from humans created by God that have a mission to be messengers to God’s

    Pope Alice is presented as leering at the angels erection, possibly in an attempt to mock a quote associated with Michael, “Be clear about what you desire, and focus upon it with unwavering faith” (2015, p. 2). The separation between the religious figurehead and the other subjects in the work make the Angel appear out of place. Both Roberts and the set are covered almost entirely, while the Angel is naked. This juxtaposition presents the religious figure as a personification of ‘otherness’.

    Scripture from the Book of Revelations reads “And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet” (Revelations 1:13).

Similarly, Gabriel (2001) discussing Egyptian religion during states “It was the heart as the seat of truth that was weighed against a single feather in the final judgment by Osiris to determine its truthfulness… If the judgment was negative, the heart of the deceased was thrown to the “Devourer of Hearts…the monster ate the wanting heart on the spot whereupon the deceased suffered the most horrible of Egyptian fates…”
