Concerning the Sacraments of the Church and how they act as a channel of Grace in our lives, this talk on Holy Orders is the thirty fifth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded during the 1950`s 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.
The government of the Mystical Body of Christ is Holy Orders, consisting of priests and bishops. Every priest is a kind of other Christ. Bishops are the successors to the Apostles. Priests are the ambassadors of Christ and channels of His power.
