A talk on the dangers of Communism and other atheistic systems, this is the twentieth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study and first broadcast under the title 'Life is Worth Living'. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
Communism is authoritarianism. Our Lord made the Church a bulwark against all forms of authoritarianism. In the Church, in contrast to communism, we do not obey a system but a person; the basis of our obedience is not fear but love; and freedom of thought is saved by reverence for the truth. We are most free when we know the truth.
