From a collection of quotes by Catholic Archbishop Fulton Sheen, then entry for August 7:
The new atheism is not of the intellect, but of the will; it is an act of free and eager rejection of morality and its demands. It starts with the affirmation of self and the denial of the moral law.
Archbishop Sheen was born May 8, 1895 and died December. 9, 1979.
