Hi Sam,
I think I might have founds two typos in this excerpt from Sheen. This sentence, which appears in the first paragraph, seems to be missing its proper ending: “But too often by mercy is meant letting anyone who breaks the natural or the Divine law, or who betrays his country.” I believe the sentence ought to finish as such: ” . . . Divine law, or who betrays his country, simply get away with such acts with impunity.” Otherwise the sentence doesn’t seem to make much sense.
Also, I believe the last line in the second to last paragraph ought to read, “is not the same as to go scot-free.”
Sheen, in my opinion, is one of the greatest Catholic writers (and speakers) of the modern era; just want to make sure his work is remembered as such and doesn’t float around online with any mistakes.
Thanks so much for your #FultonFridays. I really do enjoy these posts! Thanks!
That was suppoed to be “Clear and “manly”…”
This is one of the most clear and many explanations of mercy as a virtue that I have ever read. I enjoy writings that bring to speech for me things that I know, intuitively but cannot articulate. This article did that for me. Our Christian Catholic faith is often paradox. mercy and Justice appear to be just such a paradox, and yet they must go hand in hand. Sheen was a great man. Thanks Catholic Gentleman (Sam) for placing this wisdom in front of us men.
