Crazy for God (2010)
Crazy for God
“Sheen saw the abortion-related episode of How Should We Then Live? and then heard from Dr. Koop that we were working on a pro-life series, he invited Jim Buchfuehrer and me to meet with him in his Park Avenue apartment. Sheen wanted to strategize on ways to advance the pro-life cause. The bishop was kind, tall, pale, gaunt, and quiet. His apartment smelled faintly of lavender with a touch of vegetable soup.
“The problem is,” Sheen said, “that abortion is perceived as a Catholic issue. I want yo...u to help me change that. The unborn need more friends.”
After talking for about an hour, Sheen invited us into his private red-velvet-draped chapel across from his bedroom. It felt strange to be kneeling in front of a big “very Catholic” crucifix, as Mom would have called it.
I didn’t mention to the bishop that as a three-year-old I had been kicked out of our village (along with my family) by his brother bishops because we were Protestants having a “religious influence” on his co-religionists.MoreLess
