Sumario:This is a theological analysis directed towards elucidating the notion of the Church and ministerial priesthood in Sheen’s writings. His view of the Church’s nature as the prism of the diffusion of Divine Life serves as the theological basis for understanding his notion of the evangelizing mission of the Church. In line with Sheen’s ecclesiology, his theology of ministerial priesthood is elaborated within the theological framework of the so-called Divine Equation. In the analysis of Sheen’s theological ideas in reference to Vatican Council II, certain similarities and differences come to light, between his notion of the Church and priesthood, and some key conciliar teachings.
