For God and Country In 1941, the United States officially entered World War II. That same year Sheen penned the book "A Declaration of Dependence." In it, Sheen writes, "The Declaration of Independence, I repeat, is a Declaration of Dependence! We are independent of dictators because we are dependent on God. God is the necessary factor of our salvation. As a result, he is to be the center of our lives. His ways ought to permeate every aspect and area...

In the fourth commandment of God which is: "Honor thy father and thy mother," is the link between the first three, which relate to our duties to God, and the last six, which relate to our duties as neighbors.

Over his lifetime, he spent himself for souls, transforming lives with the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church through his books, his radio addresses, his lectures, his television series, and his many newspaper columns.

Given their importance and the impact they had on society in his day, it seemed appropriate to bring together once again some of Archbishop Sheen's reflections on war and peace taken from his book The Divine Verdict (New York: P.J. Kenedy and Sons, 1943) Here you will a collection of Sheen's Catholic Hour radio addresses...
