Bishop Fulton Sheen & Nietzsche

[dostoyevskyfan]

I saw a program on EWTN a really long time ago. It was a lecture by Fulton Sheen, but I am unable to recall the name of the program/lecture. I don’t remember if it was specifically focused on Nietzsche or not, but the conclusion was extremely powerful.

He ended it with, “Nietzsche did not convince me that there was no God, …but he did convince me that there is a devil.”

If anyone has seen this, could you please tell me the name of the lecture and where I can find it? Thanks.

Hi,

It was from the TV series “Life is Worth Living,” which is often re-broadcasted on EWTN. I believe it was one of the Season One episodes, “The Hell There Is,” or maybe, “The Ages of Man.” Here is a full list of the episodes, with brief summaries:

You can purchase copies of some of the episodes here:

Hope you end up finding it!

God Bless!

He is convinced there is a Devil, because of the atomic bomb?

Wow.
