Well, I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God, not you and the Church.

More quotes by Martin Sheen
This supposed idyllic society we have is the most confused, warped, addicted society in the history of the world. We are addicted to power, we're addicted to our own image of ourselves, to violence, divorce, abortion, and sex.
Martin Sheen
Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.
Martin Sheen
I think most actors rarely get the opportunity to play something really close to you and speaks to something you deeply believe.
Martin Sheen
Stop going for the easy buck and start producing something with your life. Create, instead of living off the buying and selling of others.
Martin Sheen
I don't like scary films. I watched Psycho for the first time recently, alone in the house at night. That was a mistake. I had to call my friend to come over.
Martin Sheen
I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty.
Martin Sheen
I was a celebrity. This is not what I do for a living - politics. I play politicians, as well as working class or clergy or whatever, and you mustn't be confused by what you're seeing on television because that's not who I am. So I always ended it.
Martin Sheen
Jim Dean and Elvis were the spokesmen for an entire generation. When I was in acting school in New York, years ago, there was a saying that if Marlon Brando changed the way people acted, then James Dean changed the way people lived. He was the greatest actor who ever lived. He was simply a genius.
Martin Sheen
I think [Bush] would like to hand his father Saddam Hussein's head and win his approval for what happened after the Gulf War.
Martin Sheen
I never lost my faith...But like all modern Catholics, I felt for a time that I had outgrown the church. Now it is a bone of contention in my soul that I did not share my faith with my kids, as my parents did with me. It was a source of grace when I needed it. I have been greatly nurtured and inspired by my faith.
Martin Sheen
I don't think abortion is a good idea. I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.
Martin Sheen
I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.
Martin Sheen
I think the Church is a conduit to God. The Church is not God. And I think that from the very beginning Jesus taught us that.
Martin Sheen
I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given.
Martin Sheen
If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.
Martin Sheen
Theres no way that I could be the president. You cant have a pacifist in the White House... Im an actor. This is what I do for a living.
Martin Sheen
I think he [President Clinton] was probably the brightest President of the 20th century.
Martin Sheen
We have to fight for something. It has to cost us. Our lives, our faith, have to cost us something otherwise we're left to question its value.
Martin Sheen
We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
Martin Sheen
I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.
