What People are Saying

“Fulton Sheen’s The Mystical Body of Christ remains a serious and significant contribution to the Mystical Body theology of the twentieth century. And it provides an intriguing glimpse into the subtle and theologically acute mind of the greatest Catholic evangelist of the twentieth century.”
—Bishop Robert Barron, from the foreword

“We know Christ best as Peter, Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Catherine, Newman, Thérèse, and millions of Christians have come to know him throughout history: through his Body. In a world bent on separating Jesus from his Church, Christ from his Body, Sheen’s masterful book bridges that divide, affirming that the two are really one.”
—Brandon Vogt, from the introduction
