The Rock Plunged into Eternity

This work catalogues the weaknesses and the strengths of the human-divine institution of the Roman Catholic Church that has weathered the storms of twenty centuries and keeps on fulfilling its mission in the world in spite of the scandals, defections and sins of its members, which have marred its existence from the very beginning. In his inimitable style Bishop Sheen shares with us his unwavering love for the Church notwithstanding all of this, and his reasons for it. Built on the rock-solid faith of St. Peter and the promise of Jesus that the gates of hell would not prevail against it, the Church continues to nourish, protect and lead the members of Christ's Mystical Body to their eternal home in heaven. This book shows how the Pope continues to face totalitarianism in our day, as Peter did in his, with the love and forgiveness of the Lord.
