"We all yearn for the sacred, we are always looking for a transcendence; some people go about it with drugs or alcohol or sex or power or ego, whatever, and when they prove not satisfying and we come to our senses, we begin to realize that theres another costly journey,"

Many people have to hit absolute bottom before they will see that they have reached the end of themselves and admit their helplessness in themselves and their utter need for God.
For Martin Sheen, that bottom was a heart attack.
Hopefully, his son will soon get to that very necessary place before his lifestyle kills him. So far, it's not looking too promising.
To: GonzoII
Interesting. But Martin never said that he has a personal faith in Jesus Christ, only that his Catholic religion brought him back to the church.
Jesus explicitly said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, not a church.

Charlie Sheen: poster boy for cradle Catholics.

peace out.

Jesus explicitly said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, not a church.Not everyone is going to express it the way you have. The message is certainly implied. Jesus established his Church on earth by sending the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. To deny this is heresy and you certainly don't sound like a heretic to me.
To: GiovannaNicoletta
Exactly!!!! I pray for Charlie, if he dies in the spirit desert he is in right now without the saving grace of Jesus, he’ll be in hell.

My favorite image of Sheen. His mouth taped shut.

Two nights ago, I watched Ramon in the Hawaii Five O episode from October 7th, 1970, “Time and Memories”. Netflix is maika’i a’e.

With Holy Week/Easter coming, may many more “cradle Catholics” come to true faith, hope, and love in Jesus.
BTW, for the Evangelical Christians, THANK the RC Church for giving to the world Holy Bible, for it was from that Church that made it possible.

Yeah - another pro-abortion, social justice, hate-filled leftist claiming to be a Catholic. You, Marty, are a sorry excuse for human being.You belong in the pews with Bishop McCormack.
To: GonzoII
I had to laugh at how he's described as "Charlie Sheen's father". Once upon a time Charlie would have been known as "Martin Sheen's son" but the ubiquitous and currently crazy Charlie appears to have taken over the planet. I guess that's what happens when you're "winning", as Charlie likes to say..........
Seriously, I have no idea where Martin is at on his own journey but I wish him well and pray that his faith continues to grow and deepen.

Sheen is your typical marxist catholic. Pro life but liberal on everything else - unionism, enviromentalism, anti nukes, illegal immigration, social justice, anti war, etc.

I don't like Martin Sheen's Politics
But every parent worst nightmare is his son Charlie.
God Bless you Mr. Sheen
To: GonzoII
Wow. Sheen has a positive message about himself that mirrors millions of people past and present (liberal, and yes, conservatives). And yet, several posts strive for the negative? A. Rand is alive and well on several levels ...

...he spoke about how Catholicism can provide a concrete and real way forward when other vices fail....

I suspect you and I are not buying his supposed embrace of the Faith. Sounds like a cafeteria Catholic to me.

I’ll give him credit for this. He is surprisingly and courageously pro-life — alienating his old Hollywood liberal friends.

umm, it doesn't get more personal than eating His body and blood.
What cannibals have said from ancient to modern times. "I loved that guy, so I ate him."
